Casa Quero Hotel Cartagena

... I keep walking, looking for ANY way out. Finally Angie catches up. &#8220;Shane, lets leave. NOW&#8221;....We go. Find Miguel and he say&#8217;s &#8220;Oh all done here. I take you upstairs, next store&#8221;. We follow...<br><br>On the way, I get stopped by some CRAZED street seller trying to sell me a collection of Columbia coins. I have NO clue as to whether these are real or not. 5 bloody minutes here before ...

... truckload of tourists, however it was good for people watching. Believe them when they say Colombia has stunningly beautiful women because it's true. <br><br>And the evening finished perfectly, making friends with an Italian guy in our dorm room and joining him for drinks at Cafe del Mar, sitting in the breeze, overlooking the sea, listening to funky music, and drinking the tastiest pina colada i've ever had.<br><br>Life is good, what can i say.

... In the morning, all of our food was gone, eaten right through the plastic and cloth bags we brought it in. Hilarious! <br> <br> We spent the next day on a day trip from Caragena to the Volcano. It is really a pit of silky mud where you can chill and get a massage. Imagine, a 20x20 foot square of thick mud; so thick that you can´t reach the bottom of the pit, but remain suspended in it. We sat, or stood, like fruit in jello with 20 other ...

... Rosario. It took about an hour to get there on a pretty fast boat, in good weather. We saw some sort of interesting old forts protecting the harbor along the way.<br><br>When we got to their island, we fitted up fins and BCDs (no need for wetsuits it's so warm), and I headed out to the dive spot. Jen stayed behind to learn how to breath underwater. The first dive was pretty mediocre. The reef is in pretty ...

... is namelijk een stuk minder positief...<br><br>Hoewel Cartagena echt een ontzettend mooi stadje is (oude gedeelte) is het eigenlijk ook zo bekeken aangezien het niet veel groter is dan een groot dorp. Daarbij komt dat het de grootste ´tourist-trap´ van Colombia is, waar iedereen wat van je wil (en dan specifiek je geld) en alle prijzen 3x zo hoog zijn dan in de rest van Colombia. <br><br>Na een dag en een avond ...

... y ron y bailamos hasta que llego la hora de irnos en la lancha para Baru. Los organizadores nos recogieron y nos llevaron hasta el muelle con el amanecer mas hermoso. Mis papas viajaron con nosotros para asegurarse que estuvieramos bien pero nos dieron mucho espacio para rumbear tranquilos.

... in a strong win for Colombia, we made a quick exit and beat the crowds to a horde of waiting yellow taxis. Back at the celebrity suites, the impending 5:30AM pickup dictated an early night and lots of pre packing. In the morning, we checked out of the farce hotel chain forever and hit the road for our flight home. Looking back on the trip, I will say that Colombia is somewhere that I am glad that I visited. The cities we got to know were unique and confident in their ways ...

As far as countries go, it's pretty much got the lot - dramatic coastline, verdant ...

... doch hier ist das einfach nur total ueberrissen... Wie auch immer, ich war also in dieser Bar und dann tauchen doch zwei Typen von Aisan Dub Foundation dort auf. Wie sypathisch ist das denn?! Habe die natuerlich nur deshalb erkannt, weil ich sie beim Soundcheck von Nahem gesehen habe. Habe mich dann also ein Zeitchen mit den beiden unterhalten, war ganz ok...;) Neinein, war natuerlich super, ich hatte Freude wie ein klienes Kind, das mit Mickey Mouse sprechen darf...=) hihihiii

... dude sitting three tables away, bought Roxy and I a beer... how nice! He wasn´t a creepy dude either... just wanted to wish us Happy New Year and help start our year off right. DJ Oliver (who I ended up talking to) played the BEST mix of house, reggae, reggaeton and salsa so the patio was packed with people, drinking and dancing in the middle of the day! Did I mention I love Cartagena?!?! The next day, Roxy, me and this other guy named Jeff (from San Diego) who´s ...
