Thursday 25 January - Cartagena day 3

Today is our last day of touring as we fly home tomorrow. As usual we walked through the narrow streets to the outside edge of the historic city walls to meet up with our bus and driver. We drove to the Convento de la Popa, located on a 150m high hill overlooking the city. Awesome views from the top, on another 31C sunny day. After that we went to the Casa de Raphael Nunez. The lovely old house was the home of a former president and is now a museum. We then went back to the hotel for a break from the heat and some lunch. We took a walk later on, getting lost in the narrow streets and exploring. We had our last group dinner, starting with a carriage ride through the streets and then meeting up with the bus to take us to a restaurant in the suburbs, outside on the waterfront. We had another great fish meal (being on the coast) and some fresh coconut pie.
We said our goodbyes, ten of the group are continuing on to Panama with Chris, but not us, we did that in 2009. It is back home in the morning where the temperature will be a little different. A good trip, even with the few glitches. Time to start thinking about the next one.
