Yesterday morning we take a taxi to be 08.00 Bazurto the Mercado, the largest market town. From there, go to the island of lanchas Baru, where the Playa Blanca, about 3.5 km long. "The amigo" seen the previous day to take us there, not here! Phew "Lendro" offers us the same thing, the start is coming soon but ... we will wait two hours before leaving! Mercado Bazurto, huge market "African", with its colors and especially ... smells! Small vendors, restaurateurs, individuals etc. ... flock here from the first light, we must not forget that Cartagena has almost 1.2 million inhabitants ... but we are not "come" inside, it's not for tourists! Within 2 hours of waiting, we saw happen in the wood, food, jerry cans for diesel ... a big engine, then we said we would surely sink! Thirty passengers, half a dozen children and we finally leave! After 3/4h nav, playa blanca is before our eyes, it's true that she's pretty with its white sandy beach, small "huts", hammocks to rent for the night, the deck chairs or under small shelters ... In 1 or 2 hours, there will be many people because the big shuttle will arrive, so we put away, leaving chairs and chairs, because for us the beach is a sarong on the sand and then basta ! After swimming, drowsiness creeping over me (Jo), where my hand grinds the trapezius muscle and left a voice says "um, mama, mucho mucho stress. Paola is it mass with aloe vera, it's nice, I let myself do ... she asks me where I am and when I told him that I am French, she said "mama, mucho mucho ingles work mucha tension," I can not help but laugh ... Massage all over, I find myself with a good layer of aloe vera from the hairline to the feet, the sand sticks to it, super ... 13.30, a small snack is needed, we return to the "shacks" to find what we eat and thus put in the shade because the sun burns. Shrimp marinated and grilled, slightly sweet rice, tortillas, tomatoes, delicious! It is time to approach near lanchas "Lendro" we said "very soon the" ... Floating pontoons come for passengers of large buses, the wind picked up and waves as well. Good waves come to "slam" at the beach, the laborers have become difficult, people panicked a bit and still no "Lendro! We will ask a policeman who told us that there will be more lanchas and to return to Cartagena, take the boat is still there. We do sign the driver of the pontoon floating it back, the waves are big, it can not, then we go into the water, Eric, wearing the backpack as "commando" rises first, I found myself with water up to his neck, a guy handed me his arm I grabbed me and managed to pull myself up ... whew I have not lost the sunglasses!
