Islas del Rosario (09 February 2006)

We took a boat trip to the Islas del Rosario, coral islands about 35km to the SW of Cartagena. At first it was pleasant travelling in the bay of Cartagena.


When we passed through the "Boca Chica" and entered the open ocean the trip became quite a trial. We were most relieved to finally reach the islands, to debark and be able to visit an aquarium. Hmmm, sharks!


Back onto the boat for a time, we travelled to "Playa Blanca" and debarked again. This is a pleasant spot to pass the time.


I had to stay under cover though, it was awefully hot!


Lorena however can handle the sunshine better, here she is looking lovely.
