I can not wait another minute to tell you about my fantastic vacation. I arrived in Cartagena on the 12th of April, the same day that I was able to take a week off. Before leaving, I stayed a single room in a hotel, as my close friends with whom we were supposed to travel, at the last moment they repented to come. This was about to dissuade me from going on a trip because you know that without them I do not feel like going to paradise, but I told myself that there is no harm in not coming, and that is why I did not change my plans and I went alone.
Thank God, I got the opportunity to meet three foreigners who became friends very soon. It was the first time they had come to Cartagena and every two by three they told me that they regretted not having visited it before and did not imagine how beautiful it could be. So that you do not think that they were exaggerating, I include some photos for you to judge yourself and also I put a link in which you can familiarize yourself with Colombia through the eyes of a compatriot of yours.
