How do we get from Panama City to Cartagena, Columbia??/

Ok, it seems we have 2 choices
aeroplane
boat

We have been looking into paying to go on a private yacht from Colon to Cartagena. It will cost about 400$US each. I have found a few yachts on a website www.lunascastlehostel.com - trendiest backpacker hangout in the City, favoured by very young, very thin, pale people sporting deconstructed clothes, muzzy hair, body tats and piercings. I felt like an old grandma in that place. We will go back and have a chat with the organisers face to face and get the facts, man.

BUT - I am not optimistic, the Skipper of 'So Long' yacht told me it would be unlikely that we will secure a boat to Cartagena now because the winds are blowing in the wrong direction. We'd have to go under engine all the way. Doh!! I feel such a nitwit. This yachting lark is a whole new game and I am going to do a bit a cramming so I can have some idea of how it all works.

So, we may have to fly.
