Cartagena

This City is the most beautiful City of South America says the Travel Guide Lonely Planet and indeed it is a charming restored colonialstil city. The walk into the streets moves you into another time. The people of Cartagena are very nice and friendly. Specially after the war against the FARC the people are very open and helpfull to visitors.

Boatride with the Stahlratte to Cartagena

We left Panama at the 11.th of November at 06:00 a.m. to catch to boat which leaves from Carti to Cartagena. For this we had to drive on a mud track through the rainforest and a wide river to a indian village. The indians load our bikes on a small wooden boat. I thought this thing would sink with these two heavy bikes....... From this boad the bikes were loaded to the Stahlratte. We drove to a nice Island in the middle of nowhere to spent a relaxt day in the wonderfull water and on the island. In Cartagena we had to unload the bikes by hand.
