... of going into the city to look for a hotel on a Friday night, so it was my intention to stay in the airport until daybreak before heading down town in a city of 6million people.. I changed flights in Curacao and was siting in my seat. It was one of those times when you see a beautiful girl walking down the isle and wonder if her seat is next to yours.

... do what we are trying to tell them. They use the language as a barrier or at least it seems that way. Just mention the name ´Sawtella´ and it will get done. Amy and I sit down for meals with five screaming boys on a daily basis and practice our patience and I try not to laugh as it only encourages them.

... have been.......stupid, stupid, stupid. Eventually, i had the wonderful idea of going to Citibank. The great news was, it work!!! The bad news was, the freekn ******* who had helped me for so long took my bag which had my card, and went off, before I knew what was happening.

... but still managed to get a pretty bad hangover... After visitng more beautiful waterfalls in Canaima we headed back to Ciudad Bolivar by Cessna plane with all the amazing sights pointed out to me by the pilot as I had shotgun seat and was the only other person who spoke Spanish on board.
