Our return to Cartagena was a more in depth visit. We went with our travel group, Virtuoso, on a six hour tour of the city and dinner. We visited the La Popa monastery which is at the top of a hill overlooking the entire city. Then it was down the hill to the San Felipe de Barajas Fort, one of the largest fortresses built to protect the city from pirates. A walking tour of the old city was next and it was very picturesque and quaint. Most of the old buildings have been restored. A quick visit to the emerald museum to view one of the largest uncut emeralds in the world and then it was time for dinner at the Club de Pesca restaurant. It was located within a fort on the bay and the breezes and yachts enhanced our evening.
