The Craze for Travelling

Travelling is a passion, and I've been on it since my childhood (courtesy my dad). My passion has led me all around the globe from high altitude deserts, to rain forests, to back waters, to snow covered peaks. You name it!! Leggi altro🇸🇪Stockholm

Back to Cartagena
4 febbraio 2018, Colombia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
After the dip in the lake we went back to the shack where they had our stuff in the lockers. Here, we were supposed to have a shower to wash off the last of the muck from us but the shower was just a trickle and not of much use. I heard one of the lady running the shack tell a Japanese tourist with us that he needed to pay 4000 COP for the storage and shower services. I informed Hristo about it. This was ridiculous again, since we had paid quite a good sum to the tour operator and we resolved not to pay anything extra. So, when the lady with the tour van came, we told her we won't be paying anything extra since we had been told everything was included. She was fine with that and didn't want anything extra from us. After we changed and came out, she came with a try of watermelons. We were so used to people trying to fleece us that our first reaction was "Is this included or extra" 🤣🤣🤣 She assured us that it was included, so we had some refreshing bites of it.
After that, our van brought us back to Cartagena and dropped us off a km or so away from our hostel. This was a part of Getsemani that we had not explored before, so we walked around looking around at the buildings. There were people sitting outside on chairs and others dancing with loudspeakers blaring music.Leggi altro

Getting the mud off
4 febbraio 2018, Colombia ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
The next thing to do is to go to the lake nearby to get the mud off. Here again, the enterprising locals were standing all over the lake shore with a small half cut plastic can and using that as a mug to pour water on anyone entering the water to clean off the mud. This was so ridiculous 😨😨 imagine using the water from the lake to pour small mugs of water on people entering the lake... Unbelievable!! 🤣🤣
We just pushed past them and headed for deeper water. On seeing this they started shouting "peligro.. peligro.." (dangerous.. dangerous..) to us. We completely ignored their warnings and had a nice swim to wash off all the muck off us. After frolicking around for 10-15 min, we came out clean... Almost 😁Leggi altro

As soon as Hristo came in, we moved away to one corner. To move, we had to lie on our back and use our arms to move. Here, we tried doing different stuff with the gooey muck. We realized that if we stood straight, our legs would go straight down without touching anything. We tried to push further down and were able to get down to our necks but would blob out as soon as we stopped pushing down. It was yucky but fun 😁😁Leggi altro

Into the mud pool
4 febbraio 2018, Colombia ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
This place is a well organized money making machine for the locals. The tour vans have a tie up with one of the local shack huts. All the tourists are invited to go in. These places have joint lockers which people can share to store their valuables while they frolic in the mud. At least, this service is free. Each of these shacks then provide a person who can carry the phones and cameras to take pictures, of course for a charge of 4000 COP. This charge is per person irrespective of number of equipment. So, if the 3 of us wanted pictures from the same phone, he would charge 12000 COP else he would make sure only one person is captured in the pictures. We decided to use only one phone and I negotiated a price of 8000 COP for the 3 of us. When we reached the top, Maria found the mud and the place quite disgusting and decided to drop out, so we took our phone back from the "photographer" and gave it to her. He, of course was not happy about it and kept badgering her with words. But, there was not much he could do since even Maria had fully paid the entry. Now with the camera with Maria, we got some very good pictures. I was first in and as soon as I was in the mud the "helpful" locals started putting mud all over me. Hristo who was following me down the ladder, kept reminding me "there's no free lunch, particularly in Latin America". So I kept telling them "No necesito" and tried to move away. But, I found that getting onto the stomach didn't help at all since the body would float above the mud and it was not possible to swim. Luckily, by this time Hristo reached the bottom of the ladder and the locals pounced on him instead.Leggi altro

Totumo mud volcano
4 febbraio 2018, Colombia ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
The van arrived to pick us up a bit late and we along with about 10 other people started towards Totumo halfway between Cartagena and Barranquilla. We reached El Totumo around 3:30 pm.

El Totumo Mud Volcano is an active mud volcano located near sea level in northern Colombia. It is a local tourist destination, popular for its alleged healing mud bath. It is the smallest volcano in the country. The mound has a height of about 15 m and is accessible via a staircase that leads to the crater. There is a small place at the crater where 10-15 can stand around before going down about 4-5 meters via another wooden ladder into the thick mud of the pool. There's a separate ladder to come out from the pool.

A mud volcano or mud dome is a landform created by the eruption of mud or slurries, water and gases. A mud volcano or mud dome is a landform created by the eruption of mud or slurries, water and gases. The mud produced by mud volcanoes is mostly formed as hot water, which has been heated deep below the earth's surface, begins to mix and blend with subterranean mineral deposits, thus creating the mud slurry exudate. This material is then forced upwards through a geological fault or fissure due to local subterranean pressure imbalances.Leggi altro

What do we do today?
4 febbraio 2018, Colombia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
We woke up late and barely managed to come out of the hostel by 10:30 am. We wanted to have a quick breakfast so we could go to the dock to see if we could find a boat to Isla Rosario. The battle-hardy souls were fine with the breakfast at the streetcorner kiosk selling scrambled eggs and some meat snacks. 😉 Maria was not too impressed with the hygiene of the kiosk guy so we stopped on the way at a better food place for her breakfast. Here they had a lot of variety in juices so we tried juices of 2 new local fruits Borojo and Churuba. Churuba turned out to be the local version of Tumbo which we had tried in Bolivia. Its called Banana Passionfruit in English.
After our breakfast, we went to the harbor. Here, we discovered that there were no independent fishermen or multitude of tour operators that we could pitch against each other for a better deal. There were about 8 kiosks just outside the entrance to boat harbor and these were the only places where we could book tours to the distant islands or beaches. All of them offered all the tours to all the islands near Cartagena at similar prices. There could be a slight variation in the price if we booked more than one tour or if we opted for a slow boat or a speedboat. On top of that, everyone leaving the harbour was expected to pay a huge port fee of 16500 COP per head. So, no escaping the expenses if we wanted to do the tours.
The trouble was that all of them left the harbour before 9 in the morning and it was 11:30 by the time we had reached there. So, we booked the tour to Isla Rosario, with one of the operator for the next day at a price of 35000 + 16500 (port tax) COP per head.
The next issue we had to solve was what to do for the rest of the day. I suggested we go to the mud volcano some 60 kms away. From my earlier research on this area, I remembered that it was not a whole day activity and if we were quick enough, we might be able to make it during the rest of the day.
We asked the lady at the counter where we had booked our next day's trip. She was able to arrange a tour within about an hour from her place for 45000 COP per person which was the normal cost of this tour. We booked it straightaway and waited for the van to come and pick us up there. It was nearing lunchtime now so while I sat outside the kiosk waiting for the van, Maria and Hristo went to a mall nearby and bought some food stuff.Leggi altro

Getsemani at night
3 febbraio 2018, Colombia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Getsemani had a festive relaxed atmosphere in the night. The restaurants had put up chairs outside on the roads. There were street vendors selling bracelets and trinkets. Outside the Iglesia de la Trinidad, there were people sitting around enjoying the evening atmosphere and listening to the street performers singing and dancing. There were queues at the food kiosks. A lot of popular food kiosks opened only for the night. There were locals sitting on plastic chairs and tables, on the roads outside their houses playing poker and mahjong. It was a fantastic place to roam around. Our hostel was just 20 mts from the Iglesia de la Trinidad so we didn't have to hurry back. We sat there pretty late into the night enjoying every moment.Leggi altro

Of door knockers and more..
3 febbraio 2018, Colombia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
One more interesting fact that we learnt during the free tour was the door knockers. The door knockers in Cartagena represented who lived in the house. The marine motifs—turtles, fish, mermaids, and even more fanciful creations—adorned the doors of men who made their living from the sea, such as wealthy merchants and traders. Lions represented teachers, lizards represented royalty, masonic symbols represented builders or engineers, and so on. Think of them as a sort of symbolic sign to let everyone know who lived inside.
Besides the knockers, the number of studs on the doors represented the wealth status of the people living there.Leggi altro

More history in the tour
3 febbraio 2018, Colombia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
The Palace of the Inquisition, an elegant Colombian fortress was one of the torture headquarters for the Spanish Inquisition. A small window with a simple crucifix above it bears the legend, “Ventana de la Denuncia.” Here in this tranquil setting, heretics would be denounced and led inside to meet their fate. For this beautiful building was the torture palace of the Spanish Inquisition. In the over 800 trials which took place at the Palacio de la Inquisición, not a single person was ever found innocent.

We also saw our first statue by Botero, a fat naked woman in one of the squares. Fernando Botero is a Colombian figurative artist and sculptor. Born in Medellín, his signature style, also known as "Boterismo", depicts people and figures in large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humor, depending on the piece.Leggi altro

Cartagena free tour
3 febbraio 2018, Colombia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
The free tour was an amazing trip into the history and culture of the beautiful town.
The tour started with an introduction to India Catalina. She was an indigenous woman (almost certainly Calamari) from the Colombian Atlantic coast, who accompanied Pedro de Heredia and played a role in the Spanish conquest of Colombia, acting as interpreter and intermediary. Catalina was abducted in 1509 by Spanish conqueror Diego de Nicuesa from an indigenous settlement where she was the daughter of the local chief. She was sent to Santo Domingo, where she learned the Spanish language and adopted the Catholic religion. Pedro de Heredia required her to serve as an interpreter to the Native Americans.
The city of Cartagena, known in the colonial era as Cartagena de Indias, is a major port founded in 1533, located on the northern coast of Colombia in the Caribbean Coast Region. The city was named after Cartagena, Spain, which in turn was named after Carthage in Tunisia. During the colonial era it was a key port for the export of Peruvian silver to Spain and for the import of African slaves.Leggi altro

Funny marriage incident
3 febbraio 2018, Colombia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
While we were walking around in the old town, we saw many very brightly and elegantly dressed ladies standing outside the Cathedral de Cartagena. We had time before the start of the free tour, so decided to have a look. While we were waiting for the marriage party to arrive, a huge roar of cheer went up and everybody started clapping. Soon, a carriage with the bride and the groom came into sight. The funny thing was, the carriage didn't slow down in front of the cathedral and in fact continued further past all the people lined up around the cathedral door and then beyond till the visible road 😁😁 Everybody was shocked and befuddled. No one seem to know what was going on. With a few seconds, another carriage pulled up. No one clapped or cheered. This one had a lady dressed up in bridal dress and 2 little kids in marriage livery. Before the people could react, the carriage stopped and the 3 of them got off and entered the cathedral. This was the actual bride for the marriage happening in the cathedral. Most probably, the couple that had gone past earlier were getting married at a different church along the same road and happened to pass just a few seconds before the actual bride came 🤣🤣Leggi altro

Getsemani to old town
3 febbraio 2018, 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.Leggi altro
