Day 5 cont'd - sightseeing in Cartagena
I took a taxi from the airport to the center of old town to my AirBnB.The ride took about 20 minutes. The AirBnB I booked was in a great location. Nice looking historic building that had been recently renovated. Very comfortable place for a stay.




After getting settled into my AirBnB, i strolled around old town for a bit. The architecture is really beautiful and the buildings are fairly well maintained.






Plaza Bolivar

Cartagena Cathedral, love the limestone



View from the city walls






More of the city walls



Plaza Bovedas, there are shops under the arcade with local craft souvenirs



After walking around a bit, it was time for lunch. I had read about La Cevicheria and figured i hd to stop at this semi famous place.



Coco Lemonade, i could drink these all day


Ceviche with fish of the day and coconut, was really great.


After lunch, did a bit more walking around.


I headed back to my AirBNB for a bit of rest.

Later, took a walk to head to the historic Getsemani neighborhood which is outside the old town walls.

Clock tower gate


Monument in Centenario Park


Getsemani all decorated up


Great street art in the neighborhood.




Plaza de la Trinidad


Along the waterfront, there was a set up of several food trucks. Great place to have a drink and watch the sunset.






After finishing up my drink, I headed back into the old town for dinner. I headed to ElKilo for drinks and more seafood.



Mixed grill seafood skewer...was really tasty.
