The following morning we were woken up by the stinking hot day so we made ourselves some breakfast then went to cool off in the pool. We then went to explore the beach and have a look around and find the best spot to chill out. Much of the beach was filled with people trying to get you to buy sombreros, food and drink, clothes, jewellery, and everything else you don't want along with rides on their boats and jetskis. We managed to find a nice place to have a dip. We had never felt such warm ocean. It was the perfect temperature, cool enough to refresh you but warm enough to swim all day. In the afternoon we went to check the old walled city out. It was the most amazing example of colonial architecture preserved and restraint by the fortress walls.
We made our way through the narrow streets of the city admiring the beautiful Spanish architecture. We were completely blown away by the massive churches and the beautiful buildings that lined the streets, with overhanging balconies overflowing with vines and flowers. We had made our way through most of the city as the sun began to drop so we finished the remaining streets in dusk. As we lost light, we took a horse and carriage through the streets to see the city by night. The picturesque city composed of amazing architecture complimented with the backdrop of caribbean sea made for a highlight of our trip close to Machu Picchu.
After dinner we went to explore the area of town where we are staying before heading back to the old city where an electronic concert was taking place on the water front. We found a spot on the bridge and enjoyed some beers and the atmosphere of it all.
