The tour was essentially a bus tour with a few stops along the way. We first stopped for photos of the Fort of San Felipe de Barajas. The fort was originally built in the 17th century and the largest Spanish fort in the new world. The tour continued through the city to the Navy Museum established in 1986. While there, we also saw a folkloric show of native dances. After finishing the tour of the old town part of the city, we drove through the modern residential area of Bocagrande, in contrast to the old town with modern high-rise apartment complexes, hotels and restaurants.

Panama Canal Cruise - Day 14, January 30, 2020
We docked at Cartagena, Columbia
early in the morning. We had signed up
for a city tour, but Judy wasn’t feeling well, so I went on the tour by myself.
