Past memories / My best trip

L

ast summer, I had the opportunity to visit Cartagena de Indias, a famous city in my native country, Colombia. This trip was improvised, because we did not know what to do to travel in the pandemic. Finally, on January 16th I boarded the air with my brother, Diego. It was our first travel alone, because we had always traveled as a family.

However, when we arrived at Cartagena, our mother was in the hotel waiting for us.

While we were there, we visited the Rosario Islands, the Naval Museum of the Caribbean, the castle of San Felipe de Barajas, also other beautiful places. On the islands we drank "Cocoloko", a typical Caribbean drink that has rum, tequila and vodka. Also, we ate typical Colombian food, which of course we like a lot. I already miss arepas, almojabanas, buñuelos, etc. and I also miss my “tinto” (coffee) in the morning.

These vacations were very special for me because I had never visited other cities or places in my country, only Bogotá, the city where I was born.

In Cartagena the weather is very hot, and the sea water is perfect for swimming and snorkeling. You can see a lot of fishes. So, it was an excellent destination for the summer.
