Cartagena, Colombia: The City of Love (With Caveats)

Let's get real first—the not-so-great: 1️⃣ Homelessness everywhere 🏚️ 2️⃣ Many streets are dirty & smelly 🤢 3️⃣ Island-hopping tours are disorganized ⏳ Almost missed our next activity despite a 3-hour buffer Beaches were mediocre—pay extra for private tours! 4️⃣ Safety concerns (as expected) 🚨 Now, the GOOD stuff: 1️⃣ Gorgeous colonial architecture 🏡 Pastel houses + flower-draped balconies = living(oil painting!) 2️⃣ San Felipe Fortress = history lesson come alive 🏰 3️⃣ Cocktail shrimp to die for 🍤 El Sombrero street stall (with crackers!) = 🤯 4️⃣ Nighttime yacht party 🛥️💃 Salsa shows + dancing under the stars (Fun fact: We were the only non-honeymooners onboard 😂 CityOfLovers 5️⃣ Handicraft shopping 🛍️ Cute bags/jewelry—just check labels for "Made in China" 👀 Verdict: Despite flaws, we loved it!
