A rough plan, not a spreadsheet

4 nights in Cartagena, two ways

  1. Day 1

    Land and get straight into it

    Morning
    Drop bags in Old Town, then out the door in twenty minutes.
    Afternoon
    Walking tour of your own making: the food, the viewpoint, the photo everyone wanted.
    Night
    Dinner, then the bar the internet won't shut up about.
  2. Day 2

    Boat day, non-negotiable

    Morning
    Early boat, snacks packed, one person late.
    Afternoon
    Swim stops, cliff jumping for the brave, snacks for everyone else.
    Night
    Shower, revive, back out. Nobody sits down.
  3. Day 3

    The Cartagena main event

    Morning
    Book the thing this place is known for. Yes, in advance.
    Afternoon
    Explore Getsemaní properly instead of scrolling about it.
    Night
    The night out. Ground rules agreed in advance, ignored by midnight.
  4. Day 4

    Last push, then flights

    Morning
    The one thing someone's been asking for all trip.
    Afternoon
    A final swim and the group's best photo of the week.
    Night
    Airport, aching legs, immediate plans for next year.

Steal it, ignore it, or hand it to the friend who insists on a spreadsheet.
