Leaving Cartagena

After nearly 2 weeks, we are getting ready to leave Cartagena.

While here we sprung the van out of the port, did some (more) van maintenance, got Chettie some vet care, walked a zillion miles of small streets festooned with bouginvilla covered balconies, fell in with the local social scene of hanging out in the plaza in the evenings and toured some of the must-see attractions.

We've enjoyed it here, but the truth be told we would not have stayed as long as we have if it were not for the weekend delay in getting the van out of the port and the Semana Santa holiday. It's hotter here than we like and cities are just not our favorite places to be. All three of us are ready for some green spaces. 

Colombia is a big country and drive time between places is huge. I suspect our next few stops may be lacking in internet services so stay tuned and we'll check in when we get the chance.
