After a night on choppy seas, we had a whole, almost windless day in the ancient walled city of Cartagena, either on our own or with a guided walk around this beautiful place. There were many old colonial buildings to see mixed with the vibrant life of what, immediately outside the 16th century walls, is an ultra modern metropolis. Some of us had an afternoon excursion to mangrove swamps with a trip in a canoe and then a visit to Gethsemani. Our final excursion today was attended by a few enthusiasts who enjoyed a class where they learned traditional dancing.
