I'm Daniela, I’m studying Industrial Engineering at Icesi University in Cali. I'm a person that like always have news experiences, while spend time with my family, friends and boyfriend. Also, I'm person funny and try of be okay in any place. Furthermore, I like to travel because I like know how people live in the different parts of Colombia and around the world. Regarding culture, customs, typical dishes (I love trying the different dishes, although on certain occasions I don't like their taste), accents, and expressions of the region, I think that these experiences enrich and permit me to expand the vision that I have of life and other people. But I’m a person that I don’t like to go to somewhere without have a plan of the place, additionally, if the place is very far I prefer travel on airplane because is more comfortable than car or bus. I am very easygoing and I can sleep in any room even if the bed is big much better, as to the clothes this depends on local climate.I’m writing this blog because a want to tell you about an experience that I had in my country Colombia, also you to meet some things of Colombia, which has a variety of landscapes, friendly people and wonderful travels to any region of the country. In addition, because I want that you so admire that when you think about a travel you think in my country. In December I went to Cartagena that is tourist and cultural district. I went with all the family and my boyfriend, and we receive Christmas and New Year in this beautiful colonial city.
When we arrived to Cartagena took a bus until the hotel but we delay two hours because the hotel was located a bit far and had much traffic. The hotel is precious, this day first lunch, we went to a mall and walked for Bocagrande which is the best beach in Cartagena. Bocagrande district is packed with restaurants and bars in the San Martin, which is one of the most famous avenue. At night we ate at the hotel that made a special dinner for Christmas and we went to a bar near the hotel.
the next day we got up early for breakfast and went to the beaches of Bocagrande and at night went to the walled city which for me is the most beautiful that has Cartagena. When I enter this place of Cartagena I seemed a magical place for its buildings, restaurants, bars all with colonial structure. The only entry that has the walled city is the entry clock because in ancient times was reinforced by pirate attacks. Then we find the square of the cars where there are horses with carriages that people rented to give the stroll through this city when we walked we find beautiful squares such as Plaza de la Aduana and Plaza San Pedro Claver where there is a collection statues, after this tour we stopped at a nightclub where he had all kinds of music, many tourists and we could see that the music champeta is more like in Cartagena.
Another day we went on a tour that went through different beaches and had the opportunity to enter the aquarium where exhibitions with different types of fish, sharks, and the most beautiful are the dolphins, they greeted the public, passed through hoops and jumping. Then we follow the journey for white beach where the water is much more beautiful by the color of the sand, there had lunch and stayed all day, on that beach my cousins and I rode the worm and it was very funny because when we were going to ride again after the first fall was difficult because of we were far from the shore. Also rode Jet Ski.
Another time we went to the Castle of San Felipe, which is very large and has tunnels and canyons because it was built in ancient times to observe the invasions of Cartagena. We also saw old shoes or boots that are located behind the Castle of San Felipe and are a tribute to one of the poets of the city. Finally, we visited India Catalina.
