Cartagena, Colombia...

The Columbian government has not eased up on their strict COVID rules, so we made our second anchored Service Call to Cartagena (No one allowed to get off…the officials came to us). The COVID roller coaster ride continues, nonetheless, it was a good day as we all tested negative for our latest COVID test…this test is a necessity in order for our ship to make the Panama Canal transit. Close to Cartagena, we pass the Castle of San Fernando de Bocachica, a military fortress situated in the Bocachica Channel built to control deep-water access to Cartagena's harbor. As we sailed into the huge natural Cartagena harbor the first buildings you see are the glass and steel towers…Cartagena has a unique blend of the ancient and modern…such a beautiful skyline. Today, was another opportunity to take way too many photos from the ship. The weather was beautiful with a little breeze, a perfect sunny day in the Retreat...  A nice blend of photography and serious bronzing!  Tomorrow morning, we start our western transit of the Panama Canal.  I'm hoping to not be so aggressive with photography tomorrow, over 900 photos on the last transit was a bit much.... We'll see

    1. Generally, I’m using a Nikon D7500 with an 18-300mm lens. Some photos are taken with my iPhone 13Pro.
