La Frigata Gloria, Cartagena etc.

I always like to visit big windjammers when possible, and I have seen many of famous still existing great sailing ships in different parts of the world. When I arrived in Cartagena I could see that in its naval base was school ship Gloria, but you could not get even near to it on closed area. However yesterday the ship had been removed to my big surprise in the city center, and was open to public. It did not take long before I did step on the deck of Gloria.
Before that I had been visiting the Naval Museo, where I could learn the whole bloody history of Cartagena. The city was attacked during centuries firstly by the pirate Sir Francis Drake year 1568, then by English and later by French navies in 17th and 18th century. Maybe I earlier gave wrong information about Henry Morgan, because his name was not mentioned there. The first defense walls were built in 1566, and San Felipe fortaleza in 1656.
The reason of those attacks was gold in the first hand. Cartagena was the main port in Americas from where Spanish ships collected gold from Peru, Bolivia and Colombia to ship to Europe. I also did visit the interesting Museo del Oro, the gold museum
some days ago.
After naval museum and before Gloria I stopped for a couple of cold beers at Bar de la Plaza, and got a warm hug from my young friend Vanessa.
I am very often during my trips looking DW-TV (Deutsche Welle), because it has a good program world wide and often some interesting reports from Finland too, and mainly positive ones. So yesterday there was a life story of 30 minutes about Mr.Martti Ahtisaari, year 2008 Nobel Peace Prize winner and former president of Finland. I was wondering during the program that how can Germans feel exactly same way about this man than we Finns are doing. At the end of that program the secret came out. The whole story was made by a Finnish team, and the writers were his good friends Jussi Lahde and Lasse Lehtinen.
Anyhow this was sent in three different times in German, in English and in Spanish
accordingly.
