La próxima estación-Cartagena, Columbia

Cartagena is a very vibrant and colorful city - every evening there seems to be Salsa played on all public places throughout the whole city. I've met some lovely locals, inviting me for dinner as well as learning how to dance Salsa. I've been told being in Cartagena and not being able to dance Salsa is like being in Germany and not drinking beers. Fair point!
Sooo, I had a few goes and I think it went quite well. I love the vibes, everyone here seems to be all about Salsa after work and it's so impressive to watch all these great dancers.
Additionally to getting out of my comfort zone in the way of dancing in the middle of the street, english seems to be even less of a thing than in Bolivia. I guess I'll be learning a lot in the upcoming weeks.

Other than that I went to the beach, which, close to Cartagena, is not actually that nice. The water isn't as you'd imagine the caribbean sea and there are plentyyy of vendors, wanting to sell you anything, from cocktails over bracelets to lobster. It doesn't feel safe leaving your stuff there for a swim, so I had to ask an older couple to watch it for me while swimming. They are Columbians, living in the US and after having a nice chat, invited me for dinner.

Today I headed over to Isla Grande, which is part of the rosario islands near Cartagena.
This is the caribic as you'd imagine it now! 😍
Let's see if it's worth diving here and I'll definitely get some tanning going.Read more
