#15 Cartagena

Since New Year ’s Day we have been mostly relaxing and site seeing. We visited the Palace of the Inquisition, Zenu Gold Museum, and the Convent de la Popa high overlooking Cartagena. Also we’ve spent some time in the old city.

Last night we went to the cinema to see Avatar in 3D. It was great entertainment.
We have cleared out and will leave for the Rosario Islands (about 20m south of Cartagena) Sunday. Then we’ll head for San Blas probably around the end of the week. We expect to be in Colon (Panama) by end February. We’ll be out of internet access probably for 4 – 6 weeks.

#14 Cartagena, COLOMBIA

We’ve been at anchor outside Club Nautico, Cartagena since we arrived. Up to Christmas we were very busy having the interior of Joule revarnished and the upholstery renewed. We’ve also completed a number of other maintenance jobs. There were probably about 150 cruising boats in the anchorage for Christmas.

Cartagena is a very busy city. The old city is very beautiful. We have spent a number of days walking around the streets and some nice evening dinners. We’ve also visited a number of historic sites.
