Historical CARTAGENA de INDIAS

The Lord allowed us to have 3 nights in a hotel in the historical part of the city centre of Cartagena ... 
We loved each moment of our time there ... 

visiting the Fortress: Castillo de San Felipe, walking the walls of the walled city, walking the streets especially at night of the ancient walled city, admiring the architecture .. and even our day trip to Baru, Playa Blanca ... 

but best of all was being together as a family! :)

looking down from the hotel balcony ... on a fruit cart ... Amazing colours and pattern!



colourful picture of a sweet stall down in the street!



Ladies dressed in traditional Colombian dresses, selling their fruit.

Come with us around the walled city ... then up on to the walls at sunset!!




ancient colonial style bull ring ... now being restored as a tourist attraction.




















A day trip to Baru: Playa Blanca ...














Back to Cartagena ... after an amazing day of crystal clear water, white sands and delicious food!!


Historical Fortress - Castillo San Felipe de Barajas

The place where you step back in time - in history - and relive the amazing history of Colombia, pirates, gold, Spanish reign, Kings, armies ... courageous men ... and women too. 












our English speaking tour guide did a great job in making history come alive for us!!
