Cartegena, Spain—A Mediterranean Jewel


101 days; 4/16/2011

What a great port. We walked off the ship and into the most beautiful port area we’ve seen outside of Sydney.   Cobblestone streets took us right onto a palm-studded promenade along the waterfront, then into a lovely plaza area, which lead into town.  Older ornate buildings mingled with new. The main street bustled with tourists from two large cruise ships—ours, the ms Amsterdam and our sister ship, the Neau Amsterdam.  We toured the new ship, which is huge and new and quite lovely. I could get used to it, but this is home.  At least for the next few days. 

After a couple of hours we made our way back to the ship. Sailing time was around four, so a short day here.
