After showing you all about our DIY wedding last week, today’s post is back to our honeymoon in Colombia.
After a day of wandering around in the most charming city of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, there was no better way to see the city change from day to night than to watch the sunset over the Caribbean sea.
There is something really amazing about watching the sun slowly dip down and watch the sky react with it’s flurry of colours. We watched the sunset on three days of our honeymoon. It set early at 5.5opm, and it was beautiful to see how each sunset was different.
Sunset One. The one where the sun dipped into the houses.
We watched this sunset from the terrace of one of the hotels we stayed at. Even the birds wanted to watch as the burning ball of fire slowly dipped into the houses, and was suddenly gone.
Sunset Two. The one where the sky turned orange.
For the second sunset we got to the beach just in time to see the whole sky turn a bright shade of orange. Just before the sun sunk into the ocean it became hazy as it was blocked by clouds, but it wasn’t any less beautiful!
Sunset Three. The one that lit up the whole sky.
This was my favourite sunset and we saw it on the last night of our honeymoon. Again, we went to watch it from the beach but this time we got there slightly earlier, and it was worth it because the colours were some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen; the contrast of the blue sky with wispy clouds and the yellow of the sun was a real winner! This was made even more stunning when a boat passed by just as the sun went.
Just when we thought we saw the best of the sunset, we realised the best was yet to come as the whole sky turned the most beautiful colour as we walked back into the old city. It was the perfect way to end our ten days in Cartagena!
Next Friday I’ll be showing you Cartagena at night, which is one of the most atmospheric places to be!
Where have you seen amazing sunsets? I posted some of my favourites from my travels here.

gorgeous sunsets!
I loved them too! And all so different from each other 🙂
Just beautiful. Sunsets are truly some of the best things of life.
Agreed, and all for free :)! I am loving the sunsets here in Chile, as the sky is so clear and the clouds, if any, are high! It’s so different from the (cloudy) skies of the UK.
Beautiful! And so romantic. South America has the best sunsets I’ve seen and also at the right time of year El Salvador in central America too 🙂
Definitely! I’ve seen so many great sunsets just in the last few months of being back in Chile, and I love that they always look so different from the day before, it definitely keeps things interesting 🙂
Beautiful sunsets! I love sunset vs sunrise and that’s because I find it too much effort to wake up early to see the sun rise 🙂 So far, the best sunset I have seen is on Lombok Island of Indonesia (it’s an island east of Bali). But friends say that sunsets at Boracay Island in the Philippines is the best.
Sounds stunning! I love watching sunsets too, but of course the getting up part makes it harder, haha 😉
So pretty! I love those sunset pictures! Stunning!
Thanks Caroline! 🙂
Gorgeous photos! I can be looking at sunset photos for hours! I need to experience more of them this year.
Thank you so much, Ruth! 🙂 I agree, I love looking at sunsets as somehow they all manage to look different. I hope you get to see lots of them this year!!
Wow stunning – sunsets really are the best! I just love those beautiful skies 🙂
Aren’t they just? Nothing can beat watching a sunset at the end of the day 🙂
Those sunsets are absolutely UNREAL! Definitely doesn’t look like the Colombia portrayed in Narcos, hahahah! But seriously, I’m dying to go to Colombia and this pushed my urge even more! Looks absolutely stunning!
I’d recommend it so so much! We LOVED Cartagena, it is a seriously amazing city 🙂 I was thinking while I was there, that it’s a shame about the rep Colombia has because to me, it was beautiful!
Aaah, I wish I were there!!! …Not on your honeymoon, hahah!!! But watching that sunset 🙂
Haha! I loved all the beautiful sunsets so much 🙂 They were some of the best!!
I love sunsets! And these are to die for!! So beautiful! That last one is my favorite as well! SO many colors 😀 … I really loved Sunsets in Madrid. Even though it’s not a coastal city, the sky was always so dramatic!
I bet, I just love dramatic skies! I always think most countries have better sunsets than the UK, well anywhere with less grey clouds! 😉
Beautiful! I like the 3rd one with the wispy clouds too. I love sunsets. I saw so many of them on Boracay but since then haven’t really seen any good ones!
I bet!! You are the second person to say about Boracay sunsets in this post, so they really must be great 🙂 I am loving the S American sunsets that I’ve seen, I actually can’t get enough!
Wow those photos are really beautiful! It looks so romantic and it looks like such an amazing honeymoon! I cant really think of a specific sunset right now, I guess that means I need to take the time to watch them more!
Thank you!! I used to feel like that about sunsets, and then I started to see more 🙂
I don’t know if it’s because I’m in the UK right now but I’m in awe of all these gorgeous clear and colourful sunsets! Absolutely beautiful!
They really are beautiful!! 🙂 I was in awe too, and so many of my honeymoon photos were of sunsets, I just couldn’t help myself!
