The Final Chapter

July 27, 2012
Like real tourists, we took a double decker bus around Cartagena. I think we picked the hottest day! 



The city is a Spanish colonial port with a spectacular walled old town, medieval palaces, monasteries, plazas and overhanging balconies. We toured most of the downtown area. 





The Castillo San Felipe de Barajas is a fortress in Cartagena. The castle is located on the Hill of San Lázaro in a strategic location. It was built by the Spanish during the colonial era. Construction began in the year 1536, and it was originally known as the Castillo de San Lázaro, It was expanded in 1657.

Evening flight- Cartagena to Bogota!
