Coro - Casa Tun Tun
Writing this from Coro, which is further west along the coast, in the "falcon state". Its bigger and busier than Puerto Colombia and supposed to be good for walking and visits to the sand dunes. Hopefully tomorrow we will go off on "el camino ...
Adventures in Merida
From Caracas we moved onto Merida, which is a small town quite high up in the mountains and is a very beautiful place. The main aim of going there was to do some adventure sports such as paragliding and trekking etc. We caught a bus from Caracas, ...
Paragliding over the Andes!
... Soy un pajaro!!! I AM A BIRD!!! What an unreal experience I had yesterday... Paragliding over the Andes of Venezuela! Volar en parapente... its called! It was exhilarating, amazing, beautiful, wonderful, incredible... every positive word imaginable! ...
Jimmy
... was Irish. Guess who, the busker from the night before. Jimmy, from Limerick, who left Ireland in 1975 and had been in Venezuela since 1979. "How did you end up in Venezuela Jimmy?" "I got lucky!" Anyhow, we drank and sang with Jimmy and his dodgy ...
Caracas - The city of tall ugly buildings!
... to waste the fossil fuels that we have and maybe that day will come before the fuel runs out. Food was a bit disappointing in Venezuela. I swear I will never ever eat ham and cheese again even if it is the absoluetly last thing to eat on this planet. ...
Crossing another border!
I just crossed ANOTHER border... how many does that make this week? Peru to Ecuador, Ecuador to Colombia, Colombia to Venezuela... A LOT!!! I really must be out of my mind. Hilary says I am like a fugtive on the run! I ...
Vamos Venezuela!
... say I don't think I have ever sweated as much in my life as that day and got the first of many bites to come for Venezuela. We went over 16 miles up to a old hacienda including a extra trip to some waterfalls in our lunch hour. There was a chap that ...
Venezuela Caracas
... and striking contrast against the deep green of the jungle. It is the now the picture in my head I have when thinking of Venezuela. Often there is cloud below the ranch and these houses making for an isolated mystical type setting. I have been ...
Water World
... water mixes with the black, nutrient-poor water in the delta. We have stalled here to sort out details for the remainder of the Venezuela portion of the trip, but that's important even if I am itching to move on. While we were here last week, we visited ...
The first day at sea!
... on our hallway wing, so we do feel a little secluded, but I think that we'll be able to socialize plenty. We are on our way to Venezuela, and I just saw the most beautiful sunset in my life. I'll write back in a week or so ... I miss you all! ...
Venezuela and Mount Roraima
... day and until we reached our ´hotel´!! This basically was a cave! We went on a excursion to the highest point to view Venezuela but alas the cloud had covered th scene once again. Nevertheless it was brilliant being above the clouds looking down. It was ...
This is more like it - nice towns and beaches
... I kept a close eye on our increasingly elusive, academic, crack smoking guide. At this point I was starting to really like Venezuela for its sheer dodgyness morethan anything else. We returned to our hotel late afternoon just as it was getting dark. We ...
Jacobs Cream Caracas
... took place and where his body was moved to from Santa Marta, Colombia. Simon Bolivar was also born here. He's a legend around Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia and Ecuador among other countries we didn't visit. In the afternoon me and Phil split up from The ...
NO-GO CITY

The Swan Song of my Voyage
... which was 40 minutes outside of Caracas. This meant $20 taxi rides to town and 20 minute walks to food. In general, Venezuela seemed incredibly unprepared for tourism. Not knowing most of this we ventured off the ship the first morning. We had been ...
BEACHES AND BLACKOUTS
This was going to be a rest time for us – pure beach, sea and sand for two and a half days. And it was. We were in a lovely posada near to Playa Caribe. It was slap bang in the middle of nothing but within ten minutes walk we were at the ...
Merida and around
... EVERYONE drives around here. There are cars everywhere for such a tiny place. I think in a few years the pollution in Venezuela is going to be horrific, which makes me quite sad to think about. Most countries down here don't have any ...
Orinoco Delta Lodge 2
hey Jeg er stadig i Orinoco Deltaet Har vaeret ude paa nogle forskellige ture med turisterne. En aften var jeg paa nighttrip. Det vil sige en tur, hvor man er ude og fange forskellige dyr. Clemente, guiden fangede en krokodille og en pythonslange. ...
Canaima or bust!
Ok. Please forgive me for not keeping up during my travels, our destinations became somewhat more remote and the company made time pass quite a bit quicker. Here is the rest of the "adventure"! After an all-night bus ride we arrived in Ciudad ...
Water everywhere
... another overnight bus to Valencia tomorrow and hope to pick up an afforadable tour to Los Roques (An archipelago off the cost of Venezuela encompassing forty-two coral reef islands and hundreds of sandy cays), as we have been told it is worth a ...
The Lost World
... days to discover the location of Arthur Conan Doyle´s famous Lost World. But more on that a little later. First a word about Venezuela. Was looking forward to seeing what this country was going to be like. First country I have ever travelled to with ...
Messing about in the river
An early start (as usual), not entirely sure what the day had in store but it needed a good breakfast to get it started. The posada´s restaurant is excellent and the food was equally good, it looked like another couple also staying at the posada where ...

Catatombo Disco show

El Primero Dia en Venezuela
... it. Turns out that was a good decision because to have spit in the National Parque would have virtually been a complete disrespect to Venezuela... yeah, kinda like a Catholic spitting in the Pope´s face... yah, dont think I would have earned much of a ...
Venezuela macht uns den Abschied leicht...
... warum... Aber kann uns ja nur recht sein. Als etwas schwieriger stellte sich die Überfahrt von Kolumbien nach Venezuela heraus, bei der unsere Nerven von ekelhaft aufdringlichen Grenzbeamten und Kakerlaken auf dem Gepäck-Untersuchungstisch noch einmal ...
