I enjoyed a nice relaxing weekend in Cartagena. Although much more touristy than the rest of Colombia, Cartegena was a nice break from the bigger cities. The center consists of a beautiful yellow clock tower surrounding colorful colonial-style building. It reminded me of many of the smaller cities in Europe, with its small boutiques and classic stone pathways. Beautiful!
I spent my second day with a few other Americans at La Playa Blanca, which was about a two hour boat ride form Cartagena. I had originally planned on renting a hammock for the night, but I had to catch a plane the next day to Medellin. Oh well. I'll have to plan on staying a bit longer the next time I come to Colombia :). Playa Blanca was simply beautiful. I have never in my life seen such clear water before!
I really feel like my time in Cartagena y Playa Blanca was a vacation within a vacation. A perfect getaway from my getaway!
