Marbellamar Hotel & Resort Margarita Island

... 8217; (The boobs of Maria Guevara). There are 2 small mountains near an area called La Restinga that were named in honour of a small, flat-chested Indian lady who died fighting the war of Independence from the Spanish in 1830. According to our guide the ferries crossing from the mainland and fisherman around the island use these ‘small’ mountains as a reference point to know where they are. Now is this a trick that all gentlemen should take on ...

... that are here, all of the locals seem to be amazed by my blue eyes. I would mention something here about Hitler and his ideals, but I’m not meant to be mentioning the war so I shall leave that…

Anyway, back to the beach and its vendors… they are all very friendly, and seem to be quite quick to propose marriage. At least now I know that if I find myself lonely and considering buying a cat I can come here and find a ...

... albeit an experience. We bought the pemier substandard tickets (I do not know either!) although not taking full advantage of the "Pemier" style up the stairs behind the Canteen on the lower decks!!! (see why we were fooled) Look at the pic. It was not too bad but daunting nonetheless. As for Margarita I did not stay long, wanting to get to Salto Angel ...

... 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 ...

Hello everyone! Well...we wish we could show you beautiful pictures of Los Roques...but alas, we had to postpone our trip for this upcoming weekend. John was quite sick with a nice little tropical illness called Dengue fever this last week, and is just now recovering. Wednesday night he came down with a fever, and we started asking around to see what other students had experienced. Apparently, due to a combination of rain and many other factors ...

... and a time change, all in Spanish, to get onto the right plane in Caracas. Our host family, so far, seems wonderful. The food is excellent, and our host mom is very friendly. We have our own little house in the backyard of her house, and our own bathroom and everything. And an air conditioner and internet access! Everyone on the island so far seems very friendly and happy. We walked all over the place today, trying to buy water at the ...

... to give up some territory to the ELN and FARC. I wonder how much US and Uribe´s government can hope to achieve for the Colombian population, who are the unfortunate victims of this ongoing conflict? One thing that Chavez's involvement in this conflict and his negotiations with the FARC has achieved, aside from the recent release of two hostages, is some fresh thinking on a un-armed and non-military solution to this ugly and violent struggle.

... were the Caipirinhas. I think stronger stuff, I have never drunk! I had made a new friend at the bar, Svenja from Germany, but once she had to go, I was up for some jammin' - testing the Margaritan nightlife this time! So I got up from my bar chair, walked to my room and found some clothes. I had to take a quick shower because I was sweaty from the heat earlier in the day. But I was totally wasted. I looked at my bed, and thought - Hell, I'm ...

... paa engelsk, men det viste seg at han tydeligvis ikke hadde sett filmen. Eller han trodde vi spurte om filmen var dubbet - noe den ikke var. Vet ikke hvor mange som har sett Mel Gibsons siste "mesterverk", men om filmen er paa engelsk, spansk, kinesisk eller norsk spiller egentlig ingen rolle. Filmen handler om mayaindianere, og det blir i filmen snakket mayask (?). Med andre ord er det teksten som er viktig, og ...

Il y a vraiment beaucoup de vent aujourd'hui. J'espère que le Caravan est toujours là où je l'ai laissé hier soir. Ça me gênerait de devoir appeler Ottawa pour leur demander s'ils ont entendu parlé d'un Caravan en liberté. Ou s'ils pourraient m'en envoyer un neuf. Il est là. Alors en avant l'habituelle danse de la routine: plan de vol, payer la note, remplir le thermos... Hasta Luego. Ça va être un long vol aujourd'hui. Voler de Puerto Rico à Margarita, Vénézuéla, en suivant les ...
