We have been on shore wandering around Cartagena, Colombia. Getting off the boat was awful - queue after queue after queue. Once off, the weather was ropey. Pouring of rain, the drains don't work so 6inch deep rivers in the roads, humidity 90%, 90 deg C. The town is quite picturesque, with old balconied houses, forts and Catholic centres of torture. Very pleasant. The town was populated by hawkers, 3 for every tourist, great fun. Saw the actual body of saint someone in the church, may find out later who. Weather improved but getting back on the boat didn't. Stood 25 minutes outside waiting to board in by now much improved sunny weather. Humidity 85%, 95 degree C. Lovely.
