First week
The trip could have a better start by me not losing my blackberry but thats no big loss really. The 10 hour flight wasnt too bad, it just required lots of movies to pass the time. From the air Venezuela looks great, it is really hill around this part of the coast and forest blankets the landscape. Not a bad view when we were landing in Caracas! When I got to Barcelona airport I was picked up by Carlos who privides a kind of taxi service for Jakera. The drive to Playa Colorada was ...

It was amazing! It was so beautiful and we even got to see Dolphins!
The driver dropped us ...
When things don´t quite go to plan!
This is a top pick!
... woman was wearing all white, ie little shorts and a tiny little white top, I think she was regretting that. Taxis were coming by and taking people away.
