Santa Marta

My third time in Santa Marta and it still looks the same. I had no real intention of stopping here but after crossing the border into Colombia, it was a bit late in the afternoon and I decided to overnight here as my other destination, Barranquilla, would have been a couple of hours further on. If possible, I always try to not arriving to places I am unfamiliar with after dark. After having found an embarrassingly cheap room (US$4), visited the market, purchased a SIM-card, sorted some other practical bits and pieces out after arriving to a new country and dined on takeaway rice and chicken, I didn’t see much more of the city. Next morning I continued my trip.
