On Friday I took a minibus from Taganga to Cartagena – a lovely Caribbean city with lots of beautiful, old colonial buildings in the old quarter. At dinner at “El Bistro” I met Gabriele from Germany who teaches in Caracas, Venezuela. We had such a great time that we met again for dinner on Saturday night 
Furthermore, I was able to have a conversation for half an hour in Spanish (!) with a taxi driver – about Cartagena, traveling, politics, family, various South American countries, etc. My Spanish is by no means good and my grammar is pretty much non-existing – so I was quite amazed how much we actually were able to talk about
On Sunday I was having breakfast on the Plaza Santa Domingo when I met Constance and Brian, whom I had met back in Bolivia (Uyuni trip). They are also traveling for a year and we exchanged travel stories and memories, as they had a similar route on the trip Then I went back to my hostel, packed and left Cartagena.
