Cartagena

We loved Torrevieja so much that we decided to stay another day. We found the all time spot on the beach to sleep. Joe and Seth set up their hammocks between two palm trees and slept with a tarp over them to keep warm. I slept in the tent for it was far too cold for me. I'm not as brave as those two. We awoke to a drizzle of rain and overcast day so instead of basking in the sun, we rode on. Later we realized that it must have poured rain everywhere else since before we knew it our bikes were coated with mud. So much mud that our tires on our bikes wouldn't move anymore. We had to set up camp since the sun was setting fast. We found a spot right outside a military air force base in a semi dry field. We slept through the night with creepy noises all around us. Sketchy spot. The next day was a flat ride into Cartagena. Cartagena was full of fancy dressed people, tourists, and lots of expensive shops. We tried to find a hostel but realized there are none there. We ended up in a Arab neighborhood in a cheap hotel with no hot water. We stayed in Cartagena another day to check out a old Roman theater, Roman bull fighting ring, and their still uncovering old Roman ruins to this day. So neat to see. Fancy town on the ocean with lots of Roman history. This blog didn't send earlier but it's before La Azohia.
