Cartagena (Colombia)

Woke up early and went back to the aircraft for our flight to South America. Pretty good weather - could see Cozumel and Cancun. Finally arrived at Cartagena (on the coast). Pretty skyline. After picking up some equipment, we headed to another airport inland (tough trip without a lot of aviation information. Saw lots of amazing mountains (over 14,000 feet) and had some fun flying down in one of the deep valleys. [We landed at an unmarked field in the jungle (our aircraft EGPWS did NOT like the approach).  Our arrival was marked with a lot of surprise from the folks on the ground (they said they'd never seen a DC-9 try to land there).  I got all kinds of warnings about getting off the ground as soon as possible and it was a relief when we finally got away...]  After a pretty easy flight, we made it back to Cartagena just before dark. Got delayed for a flight by the President of Colombia's aircraft. Finally on our way around 1800L. Made it back in Key West before 2100. After getting changed at the hotel (Holiday Inn Beachside on North Roosevelt BLVD), we rushed over to a waterfront restaurant and had a good dinner before it closed (we barely made it!). I got to try some awesome Key Lime Pie (four inches of merengue on top!). Afterwards, we walked on Duval Street - now I know what the fuss is all about! Saw some of the other guys - they have had much shorter days... Bed after midnight.
