Had a nice day in Cartagena today.

An 8.00 am tour SO early after all our lazy mornings. We went to La Popa Monastery and had a great view of Cartagena, the harbor and bays. Then we visited the San Felipe Fortress and this fort was one of the most impressive that we have seen. Then we did a walking tour in Old Town. The area is undergoing redevelopment and was quite charming.Balconies on the buildings with flowering plants.

We had never been here before and really enjoyed the tour and seeing a new port of call. Nice weather again, not as much wind and just a little on the warm side towards the end of the tour.

So after a yummy lunch where I indulged in TWO bowls of pasta we left Cartagena headed for the transit of the Panama Canal.

The senior staff and crew on board this trip seem to be especially good this trip. Smiling faces everywhere it is really nice.
