Great visit IV - Isla Múcura and Cartagena

Last part of the trip around Colombia with my parents was on the Carribean coast. We went to the group of islands called Archiepiélago de San Bernardo. Sailing out towards the island Múcura where we were going to stay, we saw some of the othér islands, and stopped at the world's most populated island Islote Santa Cruz. That was a strange experience, there was basically just houses smoushed together everywhere on the tiny island:

Arriving at Isla Múcura we were met with the amazing Carribean beach and several days with no wifi and no signal on the phone. It was a nice 4 day disconnect:

Kayaking around the island

We didn't do much but relaxing and enjoying the beach. Taking some pictures around the island. And of course having some good fish and seafood:

Lobster dinner, it was amazing!

We went on a snorkling tour where we got to see amazing parts of the underwater life in the area around the island:




After 4 days it was about time to get back to reality and we spent the last two nights in Cartagena. It was a really good feeling to take a real shower again. 
We walked around in the old city that hasn't changed much, still very beautiful with its colonial architecture and graffitis:






And it occured to us to go to the old castle, San Felipe, in the middle of the day in thw worst heat. It was very beautiful, but a crazy idea at time of the day.





After an amazing sunset at the beach, we had the last dinner in Cartagena. Delicious food, that was a perfect way to end the days here:
