Another short run today into the world renowned, UNESCO protected and walled historic centre of Cartagena that has been making waves in travel magazines for the last couple of years, and deservedly so!!<\/p>\n
The new part of Cartagena is modern and all about tall modern glass buildings, however, its the historic centre of the town that is really special. Quaint doesn\u2019t begin to describe it and what was once an old decaying town has been sensitively refurbished without losing any of its original integrity. The hotels incorporate all of the original building and have managed to introduce the modern touches in order to make them super luxury but without the loss of what makes Cartagena quaint and special. <\/p>\n
I am spending the next 5 nights here waiting for the boat that departs on the 25th so will be sure to post a lot of pictures of this beautiful place but here are a few from today in the meantime\u2026<\/p>\n
Below is The Hotel Casa San Agustin which is on par with any of the best hotels in the world\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n![\"SAM_4405\"](\"http:\/\/www.capetocairo2010.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/SAM_4405.jpg\" "\\"SAM_4405\\"")
