... time because on of the girls was scared of the birds. We walked around and found a great place to eat. Steak, soup, fries, juice, salad, rice, and hot tea for $6.00. It was awesome. <br><br>After a long day of churches, and walking we headed back to the hostel to rest. That night we walked out to get dinner and came back. Tales of the 3rd robbery had just happened, so several people did not want to go out.<br><br>Day 2 was filled with museums. The gold museum and ...

... etwa einer Stunde hin! Boah als ich am Freitag mit Mireya zum ICYE-Office gefahren bin, weil wir uns da getroffen haben um zum Camp zu fahren, war genau zu der Zeit wenn alle arbeiten gehen und es war UNENDLICH voll! Echt, jetzt weiss ich wozu ich mich jahrelang in unsern Schulbus gequetscht hab: um hier annähernd eine Chance zu haben in den Bus zu kommen! (@Natscha: dagegen war der Bus, mit dem wir bei Rock am See zum Stadion gefahren sind praktisch LEER!) Aber gut, man kann ...

... was about a 40minute round trip.<br><br>We then headed for the telegrafico ( cable car) to Monserrate which was a prominent church that overlooked Bogota. Sundays was the cheapest day to travel, and also the most popular. When we arrived at the base there was about a 20 minute wait, but there was a bonus for us the Funicar (railway) was working so we could ascend on the cable car and descend on the railway.<br><br>At the top we were rewarded with a fantastic view of the ...

... filth, air pollution so bad in places that you have trouble breathing and the fact that sometimes you really did feel like you were a few steps away from being brutally mugged. What did l like? My hotel room had a balcony with a fridge containing cold drinks and there was a beauty contest in progress outside my window on the first night. It took the edge off a hard day :-)<br><br>But maybe I'm being a bit harsh. Perhaps it is a nice city if you give it a chance, All I know ...

... zu hören kriegen sollten... Fazit: saugeil :) Nach dem Konzert sind wir noch ein wenig durch die Rockbars von Bogotà gezogen, eine Wohltat für unsere Vallenato-gequälten Ohren! In den nächsten Tagen sind wir an die "Uni Nacional" gefahren, die grösste öffentliche Universität des Landes. Hier spürt man deutlich die studentische Protestbewegung, die seit einigen Jahren hauptsächlich an den öffentlichen Unis ...

... s restaurant. We used this tactic every time we arrived in unknown place to us. Once we found the place and after consuming the Golden Arches special, Maciek set off in search of the City Bank and I stayed behind with the bags reading a book. At this point we were not sure if Maciek will be able to withdraw some money and at what rate. After one read book and 5 hours of waiting Maciek turned up and announced the good news: we were back in money again!

... In compenso uno dei due ha vissuto dieci hanni nelle isole dove arriveremo domani e ci aiutera´con nomi e indirizzi.. Caracas e´piena di palazzi altissimi lasciati a meta´ e rcondati da casette piccolissime di mattoni sparse in tutto lo spazio libero.C'e´´ un traffico pauroso ma tutto sommato mi e´piaciuta perche´e´circondata da montagne( colline) avvolte dalla nebbia e veramente lussureggianti.Ci sono cartelli pro chavez dappertutto ma ...

The trip officially started with an uncomfortable overnight sleep in Gatwick airport. Early the following morning I flew to Lisbon and then onto Caracas. The lovely folks at Air Iberia were imaginative enough to provide me with a few pasta shells with a bit of melted cheese on top to keep my body and soul together. The fun didn't stop there though. Once I landed in Caracas I had to find my way from the International airport to the domestic airport ...

... that everybody can have in theyr personalities but it depends on each person. when you travel you feel like everybody could be your friend, even your brother and thats why it feels so good. shamely, we usually don´t feel like that when we are home. i don´t know why but i think its because we love changes!<br><br>i would love to write the hole story of my life that is completelly represented on my trips, but i had the worst accident ...

... These two neighborhoods of Caracas is where you can find the best shopping, top bars, and outrageous discothèques. We spent the afternoon cruising around Plaza Venezuela and ate cacaphas and Arepas at local restaurants. The next day, we visited the Nacional Pantheon to see the tomb of Simon Bolivar. Simon Bolivar is the "George Washington" of Sud Americano. He liberated Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia from Spanish rule. You will find many monuments erected in his ...
