It has taken me some time to write this update, I guess we continued just hoping that the floods would abate. The reality is just that, temperatures are rising, the sun is shining and it is beginning to dry out.
This is a slow process, but, we maintain the street dry in front of La Casa Amarilla with a motorpump and of course we are monitoring the sandbags.
TRAVEL ADVICE: You can still get in and out of Mompos. If coming from the interior, catch a boat from Barrancabermeja and then another one in El Banco...a true adventure.
If coming from Cartagena, catch any overland transport to Magangue and then the chalupa motorised boat from there to Mompos - this stops very close to La Casa Amarilla.
Don't let the weather ruin your travel plans, come and show solidarity with the people of this beleaguered area.
