CARTAGENA / PLAYA BLANCA

Cartagena, the most beautiful city we have come across so far...With it's old colonial style city surrounded by a massive fortified wall, built to keep the pirates out, and the other half of the city full of high rise apartment buildings, making it more like Miami Beach. We spent a few bright, sunny and hot days parading around town with the hoards and swimming in the perfect Caribbean waters. We danced the nights away at local street parties to the ohhh so popular Salsa rythms (and got a few helpful Salsa tips from the locals).

Us on the fortified wall, just before we discovered the huge street party down below.

While parading around all day we were pigmented, flowered and watered...severely!

Playa Blanca (white Beach) is a hours cruise out of the harbour into the even more crystal clear Caribean waters. We spent a few nights in hamocks on the beach, 20 paces from the water. Amazing spot though not so much with the annoying German next door.

Ohh the serenity...
