... this goes a long way to explaining the problems here with traffic!<br><br> After a 20 hour bus/ferry combo I arrived in the bus station and was picked up by Jorge Jnr&#8230; the son of Alejandro&#8217;s dad&#8217;s friend. We went over to their house and then got into his 11 seater minivan and headed off for a 10-strong family day out in La Llovizna National Park. The plan had been to go out on his Jorge Snr ...

... var fólk farid ad bída eftir ad komast inn. Meeen hvad ég var skömmustulegur thegar ég labbadi í burtu...<br><br>Venezuela er eitt staersta olíuframleidsluland heims og Chavez hefur verid mjög duglegur vid ad kaupa sér velvild annarra thjóda med maetti olíunnar. Thar á medal er Kúba, Bólivía, Rússland og sídast en ekki síst Íran. Thad sama gerir hann med fólkid í landinu, kaupir thad til thess ad stydja sig, klaedast áródursfötum og slíkt.

... use our cards at 3 times the actual exchange rate to get laundry, food and our bus tickets out of here. Tonight we head to Manaus in Brazil (2 consecutive nights on the bus) so it will be a while (about 5 days or so, so please don't panic Duck Slement :-)) until we have internet access and stories to share. A moment to reflect on a great start to our trip and a fantastic country with highs and lows literally each day. There are many secrets ...

... as a result, people who live in a tropical country have to wear ski clothes to support the climate inside the bus. all the day has been spent in the city: **** but necesary to recover from the big journey. Tomorrow the alarm clock is set to ring at 5am in order to take the boat and go into the wild jungle (delta of the river Orinoco).

I saw someone die today. It was only the 2nd person I have watched die (the first being my father). I was sitting on a balcony 2 stories up, watching the cars zoom by on the expressway below. I thought to myself "geez, it's my 2nd to the last night, of this whole trip around the world, and I'm stuck in this s-thole". I was in a city called Puerto Ordaz in Venezuela, staying over one night before my flight to ...

Nach ein** Stunde Flug und ein** ziemlich harten Landung kam ich dann in PUERTO ORDAZ (bzw. Ciudad Guayana) an. Von dort v**suchte ich **neut die Mutt** mein** Kollegin Nathali anzurufen und dieses Mal klappte es. Kurz darauf holte sie mich am Flughafen ab. Ciudad Guayana ist eine Stadt im Bundesstaat Bolívar, im Osten Venezuelas. Die Stadt besteht eigentlich aus zwei Staedten, ein**seits aus San Félix und and****seits aus d** neu**en und etwas "bess ...

After the Roraima trek, I stayed in San Francisco for a couple days, and had chance to venture into Brazil for a day...Then took a 12 hour overnight bus to Ciudad Bolivar, where I got some relaxation by the Hotel La Cumbre poolside. The same day I flew back to Caracas and ended this stay in Venezuela at Machuto Beach, in Hotel Santiago.

... had narrowed down our choice of hostels to two. Our choice was then made for us, due to the fact that I had to pee desperately, so the closest one was it! The hostel is very nice though, and the owner has two lovely weimeriner dogs so I´m in my element! The owner of the hostel also owned a tour company, so for convenience sake we booked our Angel Falls tour through him. We left for the tour bright and early on Saturday morning and met the ...

... our meals with Giorgio y Claudia, along with two women from North Carolina and one man from Deutchland, the last three are also involved in our volunteer program. The flight to Caracas was quite short, for international travel. From Dallas, 4.5hrs. It almost feels like cheating, to have such a short flight. There was a hired taxi waiting for us with a hotel reservation and also some currency exchanged, orchestrated by the Volunteer Peace Foundation(VPF). Handy! The plane got in ...
