Today we took a trip to a very old Sugar Cane Plantation about 30 km outside of Cali. I am not exactly sure what the name of the place was, but it very WAY out in the country and it was a very pretty place. There was a old plantation house that was built around 200 years ago. There was a path that lead you around a beautiful garden that showed you the history of sugar cane processing. It was very interesting and a good distraction for our next to last day in Cali. We came back to the hotel and had a wonderful dinner at the Hotel Stein before heading up to our room to pack. We leave for Bogota tomorrow evening. We will spend the day at a country club where we can swim and have lunch. Enrique says it is a very nice place. He will be driving us to the airport about 5 PM and we should be in Bogota by around 8 PM. I will try to post something tomorrow evening if it is not too late once we get settled in.

Here is some video from inside the 200 year old plantation house.
There was some interesting water ways all around the house. I never got the whole story, but it was pretty neat.
This is the system they used 150 years ago to process the sugar cane.
This is the US aqua machine that was used to process the sugar cane.
