Cartagena

---

Cartagena is one of the most beautiful colonial cities I have seen. The old town is surrounded by a wall built by the Spanish to protect it from the many attacks from pirates. It was a main port to Spain during colonial times and goods from all over South America went through Cartagena, making it rich, but also a valuable target.

Phil, Sjoerd, Paul, Eva and I left for Santa Marta after three days, Sjoerd was feeling much better, but Eva was giving signs of being sick, we were afraid that she had got whatever disease Paul had.
