June 5. First day in Cartagena, Colombia

"We are beginning our descent and will be flying to some turbulence," said our Avianca pilot, shortly before landing in Cartagena, Colombia. Not that great an introduction, but by the time we landed the audience, rather the passenges, erupted into 2 distinct rounds of boisterous applause, thrilled at our safe landing amidst some horrific, dark looking clouds.

Other than that, Cartagena appears to be a cross between Havana and New Orleans - being hot, humid and historical. I wont draw any further conclusions as I have been up since 4 this morning and everything looks kind of bleak right now, though must say, this city seems have have a lot of potential interest and lots secrets to gradually unlock.
