... for Wayne and I. The temperature was gorgeous and we splashed around for quite a while. We spent the next four hours in and out of the water, relaxing on hammocks, doing a bit of snorkelling, getting a bit of sun. It was a great day.

Oh Cartagena
... a bay. I was so excited to get out of those walls of Cartagena. I felt like I was trapped in there and wanted to be free! After a 5-6 hour trip on bus to Santa Marta and taxi to Taganga, I arrived at a hostel which felt like paradise to me.
