Cartagena

The most touristic place I have been to so far in Colombia, Cartagena has a beautiful and well preserved old city, surrounded by thick walls, designed to withstand enemy assaults, specially from the sea, around the old towns many fortresses were build in strategic locations, like narrow passages, there are a few museums around, one of them is the Inquisition museum, costs 8000 to go on, but has very little things to see, disappointing and not worth the money, just talking a walk around the old city is quite nice, and should be done at least twice, once during the day and once during the night, but not too late in the night, as the old city becomes a very dodgy place, I went to visit the most impressive of the forts, which is at walking distance from the hostel, the fort is very big, and has a tunnel system to connect it's different parts, one of the tunnels was flooded with water, I don't know if that was some kind of accident or a desired feature, there is a Botero exhibition in town, I was quite tempted to see more Botero works again, but did not find the time to do it.
