Christmas Adventures: December 27th

On the afternoon of the 27th we left the island and hitched a ride on a cruiser back to the mainland. It was sad leaving our tropical paradise, but going back to the beauty of Cartagena couldn’t have made it worse. Both of us had fallen in love with the city and the whole time I was wondering how I could get back here fast.

We left Cartagena on the morning of the 28th and made our way back to Monteria on a grueling 5 hour bus ride, including the almost 3 hours waiting at the bus terminal. Right then we decided to fly back to Cartagena for Duane’s flight back to Canada.

We arrived in Monteria and spent time with the mutt and hanging out in the city—drinking juice, eating Arabic food, wondering the city streets, searching for iguanas and buying our flight.
