Santa Marta, a quieter version of Cartagena

We took a five hour minibus to Santa Marta, basically a less touristy version of Cartagena with a small promenade, a handful of restaurants on the seafront and beautiful sunsets. 

Santa Marta is South America’s oldest European founded town. I really like Santa Marta, with its much drier air, even though we are in a particularly dingy room this time - again with no window! 

We went to the slightly more rubbish aquarium, the one without dolphins. But it was fun, especially the feeding bit. Olive got to feed the sting rays and pelican, and stroke a turtle and unbelievably a shark! 



Next time we are in Santa Marta we will be flying on to Peru. Next stop for now - Minca...
