A beautiful city

15 March 2016

Cartagena is a beautiful city. It’s everything you expect of a tropical town with a century old history of explores, trade and buccaneers. In the city enclosed by walls is lively and the huge fort of Felipe still looks like it can defend the whole bay against pirates and other malicious people. 
As usual we use our time in the harbour for maintenance and in this case also to prepare for what’s to come. We are after all here for the 400 year celebration of the company Vopak. Tomorrow and the day after we have receptions on board and we make short day trips in the bay. It will be accompanied by a lot of sound because today 6 huge speakers were delivered for music on deck.
In the Netherlands we might not do it like this, but we surrender to the Colombian style. We are ready!
