After a pleasant day at sea where we accomplished hanging out at the swimming pool and nothing else, we've arrived to Manzanilla...taking a day trip to the small towns of Coloma and Camala.

Cartagena

First time for Lisa and I in South America. I think this is also the 22nd country we have visited together outside of the United States. 

Took a short tour of the National Aviary, which isn't done yet but will open to the public in February, 2016. Lots of exotic birds, many endangered are kept here. Glad we made the visit as other tours here in Cartegena seemed somewhat touristy. 

On to Panama...


Arrival in Cartagena, Colombia

On the way to Colombia
