We cruised on to Cartagena, Columbia. Remember Romancing the Stone, the movie was set there. We were told this city is as safe as most big cities now and that lawlessness and the drug cartels all work out of Bogata. We just choose to stay with tour groups and hope for the best. The excursion we choose was to take us to see birds. We had a long drive through the city to get there and heard many stories about this country along the way. Trump corporation is there trying to buy an island just off the coast. We arrive to beauty and the heat. Every stop on our trip has melted us. We are not used to the heat. At the entrance there were beautiful paintings. This is a parrot sanctuary. We noticed right away that you needed to watch where you were walking. The birds were easy to find and there were walkways to follow. We were allowed to leave our group so we moved ahead to see the park alone. Dan really dresses up for formal night. The bow tie actually flashes. There is beauty in food. Nope we just had fresh fruit as desert and we didn't dip the pieces in chocolate. Global warming from over population and our pollution is killing our planet. The ocean on our trip had thousands of patches of brown sludge that smelled so bad we rarely went up on deck. We need to turn this around for the future generations. Air conditioners contribute to the problem and as the heat goes up we use them more. Scientists we need you! Early in the morning we saw on the TV we were entering the port. Next we will grab a taxi to the airport. Exiting the ship. I had a really bad sore throat but no coughing. It would last for 17 days. I'm so happy to be well now. Dan picked up our luggage. In an hour we will be home. This was a cruise that was interesting and beautiful but I would suggest finding the coolest month to go. We picked our dates we should have asked WooHooWahine who is the best travel agent we could ask for, thank you WooHooWahine. Cheers to another cruise in the future to someplace COLD!
