X. Halt: Cartagena

14 hours drive! From the jeep through the desert to a luxury bus with Spanish films to a small bus full of Colombians, everything is included! 480 kilometers as the crow flies (for 66000 Pesos, which is exactly 20 euros) with sunstroke, but it wasn't that bad. Here I had the opportunity to practice my Spanish a bit and finally start one of the 2 books that I've been carrying around for a month.

I was also glad to shower with fresh water again soon. The city is quite nice, but there is a lot of tourism here. Countless street vendors define the landscape and it is hot and humid. When we went out once, we ended up in a club that was populated 50% by prostitutes and 50% by unpleasant (of course male) tourists. I've never left a place so quickly before.

I consider this evening an 'interesting experience'.

After thinking back and forth for a long time, I decided to travel to Cali and from there to El Choco in the west.
