We are going to the Panama Canal this Sept. Which excursion did you take in Cartagena? If you hired an English speaking guide, how did you do that? Can you walk to the fort from the port?

Cartagena is no longer a place to avoid altogether for fear of violence; just be normally careful.

We took a tour of Cartagena which included stopping at the fort (we did not go in - it was just for a photo op). We were inundated with vendors. We then took a walking tour of the town walking down several beautiful streets while admiring the architecture. It was very similar to the French Quarters in New Orleans with the addition of vendors continually following you trying to get you to buy something. We went to their Torture Museum which was a waste of time. There were too many people in there and too much to read. We went to the cathedral in the town which was pretty but then sat outside so you could "shop" for 15 minutes. After that we went so see some local dancers. It was VERY loud and we sat through 3 dances. The dancers were pre-teen and teenage children and for their age did an adequate job. Of course when we exited, we walked by the stage where a basket was in plain view for a donation. From there we went to a historical museum which was also not very interesting. All of the signage was in Spanish so looking at the exhibits was futile.

A pretty town but you will be mobbed by street hawkers! Most people got back on the bus and went straight back to the ship.

We had been to Cartagena last April, so we just wandered through the aviary and gift shop.
