Cartagena Part 2

Having returned to Cartagena like celebrities(!) we returned to Soy Local hotel with a window this time, fancy! 

Everyday in Cartagena Olive asks when we will take a horse drawn cart round the centre. I’m not overly keen on animals having to do stuff like this, but we ended up doing it anyway with a friendly chap called Archimedes, great name. 



We also went inside the massive 350 year old fort, San Castillo San Felipe de Barajas, branded the biggest and most impressive fort built by the Spanish. It was massive! Olive loved the cannons. 



One evening we took in another restaurant in the World’s top 50 - Celele, with some crazy concoctions, yummy. 

On our last day we walked round the main sights of the historic centre, the Cathedral, San Pedro church and Bolívar Square with its colonial buildings. 




Later at sunset we walked round the entire city wall, eating tasty snacks as we went. I like Cartagena.
