Day 12 – Cartagena, Colombia

The ocean was still rough in the morning, and I couldn’t bring myself to go to breakfast, but I got better when we arrived in Cartagena, Colombia at around noon.

We went on the tour of the “Old Town.”

We first climbed to the top of the Fort of San Felipe de Barajas.

Then a quick stop at Las Bovedas, a handicraft market. The stop was very short, and we had hardly any time to look around.

Next, we took a walking tour of the Old Town. The houses were beautiful with many flowers. According to the guide, these houses are owned by rich people, and most of them only come here on holidays.

The city was beautiful, but it was very HOT, and after we left Cartagena, the sea got rough and I was down again.
