Cartagena, Colombia

After a full day of travel, we arrived in Cartagena in the evening. We found our hotel, went out to dinner, then came back and slept for a solid 12 hours.

Cartagena is a beautiful city with lots of brightly colored Caribbean style houses and streets. We wandered around the old town looking at fortresses, palaces, and old colonial style buildings. We also ate a lot of really good food. All around town you can find restaurants that serve a "meal of the day" which generally consists of some type of meat (many varieties, almost all delicious), rice (or even better, coconut rice), salad, and plantains or french fries. Some come with beans as well.

We also went to this crazy communist themed restaurant/bar called KGB. Don't really understand it. It was strange.Weiterlesen
