I'm curious if there are any gringos living in Cartagena. My wife and I have decided we're going to take the plunge and move in two years. Thats how long it will take to sell our house the market in Indiana sucks.As i posted before my wife is from Cartagena so she loves the idea.But I would like to talk to real gringos living in Cartagena not just vacationing.No offense but I don't need to hear about all the hot girls "I know I'm married to one" I just want to hear from real people living day to day. And also I want to bring my motorcycle any ideas on how much to import?Those who have motorcycles understand how important it is to have a real motorcycle instead of all those colombian mopeds haha.

Peter Solano says on Feb 2, 2008, 16:22: I agree with PepeA, he also forgot to mention Cartagena is a heck of an expensive place to live, Barranquilla would be a better choice and is only 11/2 hours away so you can visit your in laws at any time.

peteyw says on Feb 2, 2008, 16:36: I can echo a lot of PepeA's thoughts, but its not quite as bad as described. I currently live in Cartagena, been here 3 years. I live across from the Bocagrande beach and this beach is cleaned by machine and by hand every night. I know as I run the beach at night and see them cleaning it; the Castillogrande beach is clean also.

peteyw says on Feb 3, 2008, 10:47: I called a bus company that picked us up at our building in Cartagena and took us to Santa Marta with a stop in Barranquilla. It was comfortable, air conditioned and the price was about 38K round trip per person. Santa Marta was real cool to visit; couldn't live there as I'd be bored stiff after a week or two.

nueva york bombero says on Feb 3, 2008, 11:57: Yeah, but the best way to research, honestly is going there and checking out the area.
