Cartagena Memories...

Well it’s time to move on, and tonight we’re setting off on an intrepid journey over a land border into Hugo Chavez’s ‘paradise’. If UK citizen’s fly in, no visa is required, but we’ve chosen the more interesting option. And we’re armed with smart, laminated photo-visas in our passports. And we have documentary proof of our onward travel plans out of the continent. It’s another new contry for both of us, and an exciting adventure. There’s some danger on the horizon, too: will it be the snakes, the insects or the urban bandits?
Wish us luck, and whilst you’re doing that, take a swift rifle through some of our favourite moments living in Cartagena de Indias! Oh, and one final acknowlegement: big thanks go to Blanca Zapata, who runs the little Hotel Londres on Calle Media Luna, here in Getsemani, Cartagena de Indias. It's a fantastic, cosy little place, exactly what you might expect from a small, family-run hostel in Caribbean Colombia. Even down to the hammocks! So thanks, Blanca, for your special little place, and for the way you say 'claro' and 'con mucho gusto.' Gustamos mucho!
