Postcard from Cartagena, Colombia

Cityscape from La Popa Monastery …. hot, hot, hot … humid, humid, humid.

We’re Still On Hiatus, But …

… you can go on a virtual cruise if you please.

In December 2007, we decided to exchange the wintry conditions of the DC area for warm, tropical breezes and plenty of sunshine.  Our itinerary aboard the Coral Princess took us on a round-trip cruise out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Oranjestad, Aruba … Cartagena, Colombia … Panama Canal … Limon, Costa Rica … Ocho Rios, Jamaica — these were our ports of call.  We swam in Aruba and Jamaica; we explored the historic walled city of Cartagena; we communed with nature and wildlife in Costa Rica.  And, even though we’d traversed the length of the Canal on a previous voyage, we were up at daybreak to enjoy every minute of our partial transit on this cruise — from the ship, as well as from land.

The cruise pre-dates our blog, so there are no words to tell the story of our ‘fun in the sun’.  But you can see and experience what we saw through the videos Mui recently finished editing.

We’ve organized the clips into an album to make it easier to find them all in one place.  Click here to go to the Coral Princess 2007 album.  Once you get there, you can click on any thumbnail to view the video.  And when you’re finished with a clip, you can select another one by scrolling through the sidebar on the right side of the screen.

If you’d like to continue your virtual cruise with some still images as well, my online galleries are here.

Bon Voyage!
