Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted December 30, 2023 #1977 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Silversea has a very nice selection of included excursions on their upcoming cruises that call at Cartagena. The Classic Car excursion has been getting great reviews, and the Aviary shows some great bird pictures. Hard to choose! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mysty Posted December 31, 2023 Author #1980 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I attempted to add photos from last evening's excursion. Upload fails. Not sure exactly why. If anyone can suggest a remedy I would be very grateful. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted December 31, 2023 Author #1981 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Last night our excursion took us on an amble through a section of the Old Town. The atmosphere was electric. People thronging in the streets, enjoying the ambience and the having fun. Here are a few shots from the street life. We then stopped at a hotel for a roof top drink and nibbles. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted December 31, 2023 Author #1982 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I had to find a work around. I copied the post from my blog. But then I had to prove I was human by answering a puzzle. This has never happened before. Interesting and a tad frustrating! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you have thought of this, but just in case.... If I'm thinking and not being lazy I will only upload a few pics at a time. More importantly if there is a narrative before the pics I upload separate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mysty Posted December 31, 2023 Author #1989 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Today was our second day in Cartagena. We did an excursion Panoramic Cartagena and Getsemani. We were there last night and it was much less crowded today. First stop was Convento Santa Cruz de la Popa. The convent, cloister and chapel of Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria de la Popa are located at the top of Mount la Popa, in Cartagena de Indias, in Colombia. Spectacular views of Cartagena. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted January 2 #1995 Share Posted January 2 Hi Mysty - I have been away for a few days and just catching up. It looks as though you are, right now, in a queue to go through the canal. Will look forward to reading about it in due course. I have never done it, but guess it takes a pretty long time, so lots of sitting in various places, drink in hand, to view the goings on. I love your Christmas/New Year hats; I do hope you wore them, and of course that yours went with your outfit and jewellery. A Happy New Year, and a continuing lovely trip to you and Myster.
