Today was a good day. Slight change to the plans but only because I was told slightly wrong facts. The shuttle is not to downtown. It was to the port shopping area. It was complementary but not needed if you are mobile. It was about a three minute walk. The pier in amber cove is longer. I also wouldn't call it a zoo. It was an aviary but it was very fascinating. After my mom did her shopping for some souvenirs we walked through it. BTW, none of the aggressive vendors you have in downtown cartagena exist here. The salespeople were polite and helpful and in no way pushy. Very refreshing.

Good morning. Today we are in cartagena which is my last new port for probably about a year when I do the freedom transatlantic. The plan today is to take the free shuttle to downtown and wander around a bit. I also heard there may be a free zoo nearby I'm hoping to be able to take a quick look at that.

Tonight's menu is my least favorite but I need to eat small tonight so it's for the best. For my starter I ordered the alligator beignets. I did not like that at all the first time I got it bit it was better this time although still not a favorite. Needs less breading. For my main I had lasagna bolognese. My mom's dinner- shrimp creole.

Finished out the crossing on the upper decks. Today was a great experience and I have way too many pictures to share hopefully tomorrow. I started making some progress and then the upload speeds tanked so will try to have those ready ASAP. I've been up for almost 12 hours so I'm going to try my best to get a nap in 💤😴.

It is very cloudy but for a brief moment there was a very nice Sunrise. Just too many people around to get a great view. I think the clouds are helping keep the temperature down. Love the pictures from that perspective thanks for posting them. Once it gets too warm I will check out the locks from the jungle and from my room on 1 Thanks for the tip 👍😀

We have now departed the Miraflores locks. We will enter the Pedro Miguel locks at 905. Going to take a breakfast break before the dining room closes. I was trying to upload the photos as I went but every time an upload fails I have to reload the queue. I will do them tomorrow instead since I can bulk upload on the app after 24 hours. No idea why I don't have that option immediately.
