re: Cartegena, Columbia

Yea, i went in April. It was great! You can spend a couple days walking around the walled city. I was shocked at how many super nice bars and restaurants were there, plus it had the old historical spanish colonial vibe. The fort (san felipe) was worth going to and not a very far walk. You can take a boat ride out to one of the islands if you have more time to kill. It was basically like the French quarter but better in every way.
