... cards over pizza. We havent really had the chance to enjoy Venezuela but it looks beautiful from the bus window and the Arripa stuffed with chicken was DELISH!!!! So we add Venezuela to our ever growing to do again list. We are now heading to Miami for a quick 8 hour stop over before our flight to Phoenix to visit some of Jesses family. Lots of Love and peace to you all, from the fast moving Bek and Jesse train.

... t for that bar!! Oh i was not very well prepared tho. I went up on flip flops so i know have a lovely pair of sock which i had to buy, Its pretty much my only souvenir of my trip a lovely pair of white socks with the Venezuela flag (nice) I have not been feeling that great the last week or so, i had no energy at all , plus ...

I was ready to call it quits and catch a bus back when Marisol, the lady I was speaking to on the bus, pulls me away from the group. We meet up with another stranded fellow, Jaime, a large rounded man dressed in a navy blue business suit. We end up taking a taxi to El Junquito.

I'm almost certain by this stage that its more than just fatigue, it seems my Cambodian illness has returned and I end up spending the next 3 days recovering in the luxury of the Arnal mansion with the Colombian maid cooking me breakfast lunch and dinner while Luisa's mum frantically prepares for Sundays elections...

... Dr Pepper which I haven't seen since high school. So you'll just have to wait while I spill crumbs all down my top and drink my succulent beverage. Anyway we could all probably whine for hours about how fast life goes, but as I close my eyes to try and block out the screaming children I get 1000 memory flash backs of places and people that took my heart. Thats also when I realise that life always seems to whip by when your out exploring and making the most ...

... can hardly be faulted. From taxi drivers, hostel owners, locals we've met in bars or even just hanging around bus stations, everyone is full of helpful hints and tips. Whilst we haven't always followed them, more often than not, the ones that we have, have helped us save money and enjoy more of this beautiful country. Beauty King/Queen Attitudes Having produced 2 Miss Worlds and 2 Miss Universes, Venezuelan men and women are very image conscious and the ...
