Seeing Cartegena on our own?

Is this doable? We will be there from 1030 am until 930 pm. Would like to see the old city (Walled City I think it's called,)or anything else historic, a nice beach, and get some good Colombian food. We speak little Spanish.

You can certainly do it on your own. Have a taxi drive you around. Castillo San Felipe, La Popa and the Walled City. Make sure to stop at the statues of La India Catalina and Los Zapatos Viejos. There is a day tour that you can do on the Chiva (colorful busses).

Make sure to stop and eat Arepa de Huevo. YUMM! Also at the clock tower entry they sell lots of delicious homemade sweets. Make sure to bring home some Aguardiente (our national drink), Tres Esquinas Rum and some Arequipe (Colombian Dulce de Leche). I find tshirts and other touristy things are expenive. Instead buy a sombrero vueltiao. Need any more tips...let me know.
