Confortel Isla Bonita Margarita Island

... she still didn’t speak out and after 3 years was shipped to Spain. However she was set free during her travels when her ship was attacked by British pirates. She returned to Margarita and following the ‘libertadad’ and independence of Margarita was able to settle with her husband and went onto have 11 other children!

Another famous lady called Maria Guevara (no relation) who had 2 hills named after her: ‘Las Testas de Maria ...

... strange slightly older German man who has been staying here for 8 months and still speaks no Spanish!

Before coming to Playa El Agua I was staying with Tita (Alejandro’s mother) at Playa Guacuco. I arrived there with James after a nice long bus/ferry journey from Caracas via Puerto La Cruz. The traffic in Caracas had been horrendous (for a change) and it was hit and miss for a while whether we’d make it to the bus station on ...

I am here in Ciudad Bolivar trying to catch up with the blog entry that I have missed over the last few days. This was just a small trip to Isla de Margarita and I never knew that there was such a place, nothing happens and everything is happening. There is so much development here but the transport to the Island is appalling, at least the one we were on ...

... buracos e gramas na altura do capô. Mais adiante tivemos que voltar pra pista que não tinha retorno e por isso fomos na contra mão e despercebidamente fiz o retorno (inverso) na frente do carro da polícia, a qual me ignorou visto a situação bagunçada que estava ocorrendo na região.
A surpresa: conseguimos chegar no aeroporto a tempo, pegar as malas entregar o carro na locadora e ...... o voô estava atrasado ...

... to leave the salt. The one thing unusual here is the colour of the water, it varies from bright blue to bright purple with lots of shades in between. On arrival at the town we asked were we could park and were recommended to try one of the Posada,s. When the owner got back she agreed to us using the car park and so we are now settled for the night in the yard with electric hooked up (N10.34.08.15 W64.15.27.66). 9th - Today it was just a ...

... we left. It was really fun though. I think we will make some of the food back in the states, but not the yellow meat. For us, I think that is right up there with the tuna spaghetti. Class is the same- we are starting to feel like we are learning more. We have been trying to organize this trip to Los Roques ever since we got here, and it was a testament to our Spanish skills that we booked the entire thing and ...

... up on my videos sections for you to see. Najla is also making some videos for Fundefir, the NGO I am working for. These are part of their new self learning program, where they want to reach out to more locals and unbankable people, to teach them how to set up their own communal bank. Again, I was really impressed with the approach she had taken to this - trying to make it interesting and accessible - using a blend of animation, photos, real life ...

... but when it feels threatened, it "puffs" out, turning into a ball, literally, with hundreds of spikes!

Venezuela is super cheap if you change dollars in the black market. One day I made a pathetic intent to spend money, since I had way too many Bolivars and you get next to nothing for them if you change it back. So I went to a pretty nice restaurant, ordered a chicken Cordon Bleu and two Cuba Libre coctails, all in all around $6 USD.

Okay her kommer en kort opdate, af hvad jeg har lavet de sidste dage. Tog jo fra Merida til Chichi. Blev dog kun i Chichi en enkelt overnatning, hvorefter Ditte og jeg satte kursen mod Isla Magarita. Igen forloeb turen ikke helt som forventet. Der var sket et trafikuheld, saa busen fra Chichi til Valencia var forsinket. Resultat: vi naaede ikke den bus, vi havde koebt billetter til i Valencia. Heldigvis fik vi lov til at ...

... comparaison du bonheur d'une mère. Et voici Marie-Galante. Une autre célèbre île française. Peut-être seulement à cause d'une chanson. Ça a l'air jolie. Un jour peut-être, je m'y arrêterai. Et nous revoici dans les nuages. La Martinique est sous la pluie. Ainsi que les autres îles jusqu'à Trinidad et Tobago. Nous en sortons seulement au moment de commencer notre descente sur l'île de Margarita. Il y a quelque chose de différent dans ...
