Cartagena de Indias is a terrific place. Sure, probably a bit dodgy if you’re walking alone at night, in the wrong street… but still, it’s a terrific place.  I’m no connoisseur, but the colonial architecture within the old city walls impressed me a lot. I became a fan of the city’s doors, street signs, door knobs… it’s beautiful, especially on a sunny day.

I got into town a bit late, and crashed at Hotel Marlin (dormitory costs something like 5 Euros per night), and I have no complaint whatsoever.

Oh, and if you visit Cartagena, do yourself a favour and at the very least try to find your way to Playa Blanca, alright?
