The old and New Cartagena

I fly from Toronto to Cartagena direct for 4.5 hrs of flying time, During the landing it was -33 Celsius which is hotter and I been approached by local driver telling me that for 30$ he can drop me to my Airbnb booked hotel but I decline so me and my friend made negation for driving us to Manga and he agreed.
However during the heart warming meet and great the driver tried to fool us The driver turn the car whenever and because the road was narrow and tight with all this taxi and privacy he spins us. Knowing how did it happen took us 30 minutes to arrive where I. Only 15 mins and he is asking for more $ but I decline I insist 20$ with a friend for drive and he insist to take a friend to get our bags even we can managed and take a tip of 7000 Columbia's pesos
The other option is not to withdraw in Columbia's atms your money because a massive of 780 cop chargers for atm withdrawal my friend made a mistake when he withdraw his card to Cartagena banks He withdraws 100,000 COP and charge him 14000 COp which is equal to 7$. Wow what a waste of money . Mostly food is just fair for 12000 COP you can get a meal of rice with chicken and drinks or beer for 4000 COP .Mostly restaurants in Cartagena has service fee of 6000 to 7000 COP which is closer to 2$
