| | Fort of San Felipe de Barajas |
| | | We toured the Fort first thing off the ship, but our guides didn't think ... |
| | | ... about the possibility that we might not like getting soaked ... |
|
| | ... or that we might find lightening striking the fort to be somewhat upsetting. |
| | | Also ... the climb was NOT "easy," no matter what they say. |
| | | We also visited this monastary, which gave us a lovely view of the city. |
|
| | Cartagena really is a large, fairly modern city. |
| | | | The Zaandam, dock at Cartagena's industrial port. |
|
| | | Cartagena is a mix of old Spanish colonial structures ... |
| | | ... and modern high-rises. |
|
| | It's also a den of poverty ... |
| | | ... they'll climb a mountain to beg money from tourists. |
| | | The monastery has a huge gold-leaf altar. Rather gaudy on the inside ... |
|
| | ... rather plain on the outside. |
| | | | Leaving the monastery, we couldn't escape the peddlers. |
|
| | | Cartagena Colombia's port is an industrial/commercial port. |
| |
| | |
| | I don't think I'll come back to Columbia any time soon. |
