Caribe Hotel Cartagena

... this for charity man, stop judging us. Unfortunately, the bus route map didnt help. so, we just followed our compass south until we accidently took a back road to a near by village. Then after seeing non motor way signs to a town we needed to get to we celebrated by sleeping on the grass. After a short sleep we followed the signs, which eventually led us on to a motor way, AGAIN. Nightmare. right, so we just gave up and set up camp in a near by national park ...

... and order Churrioes which they found hard to understand what we were ordering cuz its pronounced differnt than how it is spelt.

Later that evening we cooked some we wedges on the BBQ then we had those which sausage and curry sauce!

Then we went to a spanish bar which was quite exspensive but it was all locals except for 2 other english people.

... spanish familes.

We went to a spanish bar and had a few drinks there and then we saw the road train which went back so we got onto it the lady came over for us to pay and started pointing at my eyes and speaking in spanish i think she was saying i had nice eyes lol!

We got the road train back to bolnuevo which played music and when u went past people everyone waved at you!

I woke up at 6am and i could see the light in the distance over the mountain. I could also hear crickets really loud which didnt really bother me and in the distance on a saturday night there was an all night rave which i could hear the music booming and quite clear but it didnt seem to wake me up in the night that went on till 8am.

Sunday was the day they have the market so we set of at 8am towards the port to go to the market when we got there most of it was set up but some stores ...

... of Puerto De Mazzron the temperture of the sea was perfect although it worried me a bit seeing a jelly fish in the sea.

We arrived at a bar on the beach right on a the corner where an island was sticking out and decided to sit there and have a drink. I ordered a Cevasa which is spanish for beer he had bit trouble understanding because i didnt pronounce it properly but i got what i wanted eventually.

It was a nice spanish ...

One may think that with the trouble we had in getting here, we weren't meant to be here. There was a fire on another train aheadd of us, and we were delayed by 2 hours. Then our train was having problems and we had to transfer to another train. All in all we arrived in Murcia at 12:45am, 4 hours late, but very excited to see Javier, Carmen and still waiting to see the girls who got up and went to school while we still slept.

When it comes to planning a holiday I don't usually deal with all the travel details and money, etc but this year I had no choice as my wife's job left her with no time to run holiday 'errands'.

As I walked around town I saw various adverts for Travel Money exchange and was baffled by all the different info. As a man who likes the simple approach I gave up on that idea and asked my brother where he had gone for his. He recommended No1 Currency ...

... of Casablanca and Agadir were cancelled as a result of a religious festival that involved the slaughtering of animals. Celebrity Cruises felt this would offend their passengers' sensibilities and so changed the routing to include Cartagena and Gibraltar instead. Although we were looking forward to the Moroccan stops, I must say that Cartagena was a lovely experience ...

... They are building a museum of submarine archeology, and apparently "Madrid" is trying to turn Cartagena into a popular tourist (especially cruising) destination. They have a ways to go. I think most people were glad to have a downtime day, though. Pauline was happy that Mike found her some Pepsis. She loves Pepsi so much her dog (a Pomeranian) is named Pepsi, and of course it's Coke only on the ship. I may look for some ...
