KICKIN’ IT IN COLORFUL CARTAGENA, COLOM

Cartagena is a sizable city; of typical interest to visitors are the Old Town (aka the Old City, or Walled City) and Bocagrande (the peninsula where high rise hotels, restaurants, clubs, and shops can be found). Of sole interest to us was the former, Old Town Cartagena. Cartagena’s Old Town certainly has enough aesthetics to please. Nicki and I were constantly captivated by the unique doorways and balconies. We lugged our professional cameras and lenses around everywhere, even waking up at 6am one morning to shoot the town before it woke up. I just couldn’t get over the vibrant colors everywhere. Colors for days! After a cumulative day and a half of roaming the colorful streets, we had another half day to “kill” in Cartagena before leaving for the airport. Recovering from our Tayrona sunburns and not having nearly enough time for an excursion out of town, we racked our heads for a more sensible option. #bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#summervacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer
