The last photos from Cartagena

 Everything colonial and romantic

 Within the old city walls everything is too beautiful to be true (and outside it is the opposite)

 But we were living in a fairy tale and drinking tea in luxurious patios in posh hotels

 With all the flora you could imagine, all more verdant than you could capture in a photo

And with all the other tourists from all over the world

Better late than never, eh? And now, almost two months later, I'm on my way on a new holiday. The main reason I do not post here is that I try to keep my work related stuff on the youth delegate blog, and to be honest I don't take that many photos outside of work. Let's see if I manage to get some on this holiday.

The Gold Museum of Cartagena

 Had a lot of gold in it

 Mostly from the Zenú culture 

 The Zenúes were indigenous people, who of course were almost eradicated by the Spanish

 But at least some of their land has now been acknowledged as a Zenú reserve

And we get to know their culture and their art today
