My day off was spent exploring the beautiful islands near Cartagena, Colombia. I visited the Rosario Islands, a protected archipelago with clear waters and coral reefs. I also toured the well-preserved defensive walls of Cartagena, constructed over nearly two centuries to protect the city from attacks. Additionally, I saw several historic forts in the area, including the Castle of San Fernando de Bocachica.
