We stayed for a few days in Cartagena, a magnificent colonial city on the Caribbean. We met up with our kiwi mate Dan, and spent a few days shuffling around historic streets in intense humidity.
We also saw these guys throw down a pretty decent rap outside Dan's favourite cafe:

We visted a couple touristy spots outside of Cartagena. North of Cartagena is a mud volcano. It is 15 metres (about 49 feet) high and has warm, thick mud in the crater. It is very weird to swim in, as you are less dense and kind of float on the top. Unsure how sustainable the attraction is, since every swimmer must take a kilo or so of mud with them out of the crater. The level looks way down on what it used to be. It was still a really cool experience.
We also visited Playa Blanca, a beautiful beach to the south of Cartagena. Well, it would be beautiful if it didn't have so much trash and people trying to sell you stuff (every now and then they come by with something useful like a cold beer though).
