After a breakfast in the Arts cafe we were off on an excursion. This turned out to be not so good. We were put into a bus and drove around the city for 45 minutes then let off the bus just outside the Port gates to walk to the Roman ruins. First from the bus.

Come the morning and we were in Cartagena. Able to sleep in as only a 9.30 am excursion. So it was already light. Good views from our balcony. Some rowers over at the Naval base.

Back on board and once again we bombed at trivia. But I regained some pride by winning at putting with 2 holes in one. Then dinner once more in Atlantide. The daily menu. We both started with the soft shell crab. It was nice. Rojaan had the lobster tail again and I went for the fillet steak. We were having dinner with another couple from our trivia team. I ordered mine rare and the other fellow ordered his medium rare and I am sure they mixed the orders up. I did have the tomato soup which I love on Silversea. Weboth ended with the cheeses cake. It was another good night.

Truly amazing. The main body of the church is divided into half so that 2 different services can be held simultaneously.

We are now in the old town. It was under the rule of various Islamic regimes. At least 3 different Islamic groups ruled Rondo. When retaken by the Christians the complete population was killed. Some repairs.

Where the bulls are kept the night before the fight. Seven stalls but only 6 bulls fight. A spare in case there is a problem with one ofthe bulls. Now we are walking towards the Old Town. The Parador and attached restaurant. A large gorge separates the old and new towns. It is actually called the Puente Nuevo and was completed in 1793.
