Cartagena
With such a love for Viejo San Juan, I went looking to be swept off my feet by the Spaniards' largest fortified colonial city...and ended up sorely disappointed!
Cartagena turned out to be nothing more than a glorified tourist trap, where aggressive touts and shop keepers were the least of worries.
Between the extreme heat and being worn-down from three strenuous weeks already on the road, I more than petered-out during my last 8 days here. And while I could've and should've packed-up and went elsewhere, I literally crashed and burned instead!
