Cartagena, Colombia 🇨🇴 

I feel that I need to make more effort to see the city and set out early for the Plaza de San Pedro Claver. The colonial church and convent were built in the 1600s and are now for Saint Peter Claver, who died in 1654 in Cartagena, after devoting his life to evangelizing and redeeming the black slaves. The church even has his remains buried in the altar. The space is quite peaceful but as it is still humid I enjoy sitting under the plants in the courtyard.  

I still go back to the hostel at midday to take another shower and try to cool down, feel like I should be adjusting by now.

I have heard how great the sunset is from the walls, and there is a great bar in the perfect spot for me to enjoy an expensive beer as I watch the sun go down. It is very chilled and amusing watching people posing for selfies on the walls. So much nicer walking around in the evening and I find a lovely pasta place for a fantastic Carbonara with real bacon!
