Day 367 - Leaving Cartagena

(Ursula) Everything went like clockwork. The two campers were hoisted and secured on the deck with safety chains at both axles.

Then we moved into our assigned cabins. Since this was a cargo ship, I didn't have high expectations. But I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort. Our room was on the main deck with two porthole windows. It even had a small table with two chairs and an en-suite bathroom with a shower.

Captain Victor Rodriguez introduced us to the entire crew. Then lunch was served in the canteen.

Carib Freeze set sail just after 3:00 PM.

As Cartagena faded into the distance, I was a little sad we were leaving South America. The visit to this continent included several challenging moments, but it was an extremely positive and enriching experience. The route we chose through the Amazon was partially unknown. I made this segment of the journey extra memorable.

The parts of South America we didn't visit were Uruguay and Patagonia. Perhaps we can see those at some later point in our lives.
