Le Flamboyant Hotel Playa el Agua

... inclusive beers and cocktails with the other guests. Despite reassurances from my new friends off the beach that it is safe for me to go out around here (but only if I go with them), I decided the sensible option would be to stay in! Oh, the joys of being a girl alone. Here at the hotel there are plenty of people, so I’ve had some fun. I’ve not met any other English people, but have met an interesting mix of people including one ...

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 ...

... pakken en de naam van het hostel (wie ik dus wel vantevoren had opgezocht in mijn boek) op een zo Spaans mogelijke manier uit te spreken en te hopen dat de chauffeur dit zou begrijpen en mij hier zonder al teveel omwegen naar toe zou brengen. Dit ging wonderbaarlijk goed moet ik zeggen. Nadat ik op 2 manieren was afgezet, stond ik dan eindelijk bij het hostel. Eigenaar (duitser) uit bed gebeld en om 2u in een heerlijk bed gerold (24 nadat ik was opgestaan). Ik zit dus in El ...

... an american area, with luxurious malls, bars and restaurants. Altamira is also a cool area, so is the Centro during the day, where we can find nice buildings and original architecture. We left Caracas on the 24th to go to Puerto la Cruz, a mid-size city right on the water. Nothing exceptional about it, but we met a super nice guy in the bus (5 hours of transportation... we had time to meet people!). He's from Iceland but has ...

... that it was well known that President Uribe´s father (from whom he had inherited huge plots of land) was in the paramilitary and one of Colombia´s largest drug traffickers until he was reportedly killed by the FARC. After graduating, Uribe became the Mayor of Medellin, but then was removed from his post after the central government became embarrassed by his public ties to the drug mafia. He then made director of Civil Aviation, where he used ...

... friendly people, told me about all the things I could to in the area, invited me to whole bunch of beer throughout the whole journey and then they just happened to be headed to the same town as me - Juangriego - so they invited me to drive with them, as they had a car, saving me some 30-40.000 bolivares for the taxi there. But that wasn't even all - they invited me even to dinner as well! What gentlemen! Then they also offered to share a hotel ...

... zrovna na tomhle ostrove rozvinuli turistickej ruch...mistni upresnuji, ze takhle vypada kazda plaz na ostrove, ale ze je to jen ´temporal´, neni se ceho obavat, rasy priplavaly vcera a za par dni budou pryc...jo, stejne jako ja. Jdu aspon zmirnit sve rozhorceni projizdkou na skutru. Chvili na me porad piskaj provozovatele, ze nemam delat to a ono, asi trikrat me prijedou zastavit a cosi na me hulakaj, ale pak to nastesti vzdaj a prestanou me otravovat. Prislo ...

For this I will add an entry. POS was a one nighter and then on to Venezuela for two weeks before coming back to my friends wedding in Tobago. This entry is a lesson on what NOT to do. I decided to get to Venezuela as quickly as possible because I really only had three weeks to see three countries, Venezuela being, by far, the largest. So, after arriving in POS and blowing roughly 60 or 80 cdn on taxi fares chasing the once weekly ferry to Guiria (which leaves Wednesday ...
