One of the most exciting things for me about travelling is that you will get to know different ways of transportation. It doesn´t really matter if it is comfortable. In fact, the most uncomfortable ones are the ones you will remember. If i sit in a minibus on a rough road trough the mountains, with twice the amount of people which would fit in, according to european standards, and the driver still thinks two more and a cage of chicken easily fit in, i know i´m in the right place. Don´t get me wrong, i don´t enjoy it at this moment, but i´ll remeber it later and i´ll be happy that i have survived.
The uncomfortable rides are one thing. The really unusuall ones are another. They are just fun, and what i have found a few days ago is something i just have to show. There is a small village somewhere in the rainforrest of colombia, which is not connected by any road. Only old, rusty rails connect the village to the rest of the world. The problem is that if you want to go there by train you would maybe wait forever. The locals there have found a great solution for this.
