    Getsemani to old town

    February 3, 2018 in Colombia ⋅ 🌬 29 °C

    It had taken us better part of the day to move from near the airport to Getsemani and then some more for the food. We had anticipated this the previous day so we had planned half a day only with the free tour of the city. The tour was started around 4:30 pm so we had about 2 hours before. We decided to walk from Getsemani to the old town. We passed the Parque Centenario and the harbor on the way. Muelle del Pegaso (dock of the Pegasus) connects the Center of the old city to Getsemani. It is decorated with multiple pegasus sculptures. We tried to find boat trips or a willing fisherman who could take us to Isla Rosario for a tour next day or the same day, but soon we learnt that Isla Rosario was a bit far out and needed a whole day while very few of them were willing to go the next day. Thos who did, offered a private hire, which was too high for us. We decided to research a bit more on the net before we come back the next day. There had to be a better and cheaper way to get to the island. But, one thing was clear, it wasn't as straightforward as going to the harbor and haggle for a price.Read more
