In Aruba last time we just walked off the ship and rented a car there at the docks and drove around on our own.

Thanks Gadget In Cartagena there is a tourist informaion point on the pier, but you may miss it if the descent gangway is close to the pierhead. A taxi will offer a tour of the monastery for the view, possibly the fort and definitely the old town for about 25 dollars per person, and those who took.that option said it was fine Failing that if you walk outside the dock gates and beyond the taxis inside you can get a taxi to the clock tower (Torre Reloj) for 10 dollars or negotiate down to eight, You can then spend two or three hours wandering round the old town. There are a couple of money changers quite close to the tower, and the torture museum, the main museum (in the same building) and the gold museum are worth a look and you can sit in the small park nearby and watch the locals and tourists go by. Dollars are usable in the bookshop. Lunch was paid for with a credit card, and as the Columbian Peso uses the dollar sign the total was $95,000, which converted to about USD45. The fare back to the dock was negotiated down to 10,000 pesos - about 5 dollars. This information is less than a month old |

Shore excursions
In Ocho Rios go rafting on the Martha Brea river.
It is a leisurely 1-1/2 hour ride on a bamboo raft with a raft captain as your guide. We loved it. |
