Day 2...
Waiting... I think that's been the primary feature of the last 36 hours. Several hours in the desolation of Terminal 5 in Heathrow, some broken sleep on the flight to Madrid and finally to the long-awaited flight to Caracas... Delayed on the tarmac by one hour, no biggie...
I expected to catch up all that lost sleep on Madrid-Caracas. Alas, it was not to be so. I don't care how comfortable airline seats are suppose to be; sitting upright is not the natural position for sleep for ...
Adios Caracas
Today I spent most of the day in a car driving around Caracas. It's a large sprawling city with favelas precariously stacked at the extreme western and eastern ends of the city.

There was no way we could afford to take chances missing our flight back to Miami and we had airport security to go through. We expected to have our bags thoroughly checked, much like the road block inspections we had faced throughout ...
In and out of Caracas
... kilos, including both bags, so we had made sure we met the criteria before heading to the airport. The people in front of us, however, had tried to pull a fast one by putting all their heavy stuff in their carry-on. You should have seen their faces when the agent told them the weight limit included their hand bags. They had to shell out more money - we were grateful we had bothered to read the fine print!
