Sunday 30th of March 2025. Cartageña.
Very impressed with Cartageña. Lots to see, a good vibe and a university town, it nice not to be completely surrounded by people my age or older.
I would stay longer but if I don't go tomorrow then I'll be stuck here for a week. Hopefully I'll visit again on the way back and join a guided tour of the town.
The Romans have come to town.
Interesting facts: There are 23 Cartagenas (or sound alikes) in the Americas, 2 in the Med and one in the Philippines. The submarine was invented here, although I bet there's a few laying claim to that.
It does look a beautiful town/city. I think there is a naval port there as well.
