Our ride picked us up at 0530, right on schedule. We saw only a couple of taxis and later on in the morning Caro overhead a fellow passenger commenting on how difficult it was to get to the Airport.
Once inside the terminal I grabbed a couple of seats at a coffee bar table while Caro went to get us something to drink and eat for our breakfast.
We weren't at that table more than a couple of minutes before Caro wanted to move as she could faintly smell vomit there ( I was completely oblivious to the smell).
A short time later we were through security (very fast and efficient) and once we were at the boarding gate we waited three hours for our flight.
We took off on time and once airborne we got a nice view of the city. Unfortunately I didn't get a super photo but in the photo below you can see the tall buildings on the left side.
Thee were lots of taxis at the airport and we took one to our hotel.
We were three hours early for check-in so we went to the hotel restaurant buffet lunch which was pretty good ( and very popular by the amount of people there).
We checked with the front desk and they said the taxi disruption that we experienced in Cartagena was actually nation wide. The desk people weren't really sure if there continued to be any problems with traffic (or taxi's) in the downtown (there were still lots of traffic police on the main road in front of the hotel) so we decided to stick around here until the morning at which time we will check again.
We walked a couple of kilometres to a new shopping mall where we checked out all three levels of shops.
We were back at 3 PM for check-in ( and picking up our luggage which was in hotel safe storage).
We didn't do much but relax in our room after that.
