... his pocket which was probably from one of our visits to the parks and nothing that surprised us. However, the officer rolled the leaf in a bit of scrap paper he had and called it a joint. Pierre:Paul asked for us to be taken to a police station for a more official opinion of the situation, but they took us to a back alley instead. On our way, we passed another officer who I begged to help us, but he only shrugged. As Pierre:Paul negotiated and argued with the officers ...

... in the Mountain Top Cloud forest setting of Venezuela. Yes we made it and have commited to a period of 1 month here. We seemed to have perfectly fit and in the words of the Ranch Co-ordinator (Sarde) we are like an answer to their prayers. I should explain how the place is setup as your understanding of a ranch is most likely different to what it is here. There is one communal area consisting of 2 stories, refectory, office and three small residences for Uncles ...

... Das hatte ich noch nirgends so extrem **lebt wie hi**... (Uebrigens: Ich hatte am Flughafen in Pu**to Ordaz eine Frau gesehen, die dann auch im selben Flieg** war. So weit, so gut. Ich kaufte dann ein Ticket fu** die Busfahrt ins Zentrum von Caracas und die Frau sass im selben Bus. "Wow, schon wied**!?", dachte ich. Als ich auf die U-Bahn umstieg, "v**lor ich sie aus den Augen". Als sie dann ab** auch noch im selben Hotel auftauchte, glaubte ich meinen Augen ...

We had an early flight to Caracas via San Jose (not on the way clearly but all cheaper flights in South America take you on tiki tours.) We bunked down at the airport all evening, looking wistfully through to the shiny duty free area denied us without a boarding pass. When we could finally check in at 3.30am the lady at the desk bewildered us with a Spanish monologue of which we understood one word: manaņa (tomorrow). We then had to ask her questions in Spanish to try ...

Allow me to preface this entry as I am using a) an archaic computer and b) it has a spanish keyboard making me really think while typing. So we arrived in Caracas this morning at sunrise and this place looks amazing!!!! So many things look just like youīd imagine. Iīm stinky, sweaty and tired and ready to cry since my camera is not working. Friday ...

... some stuff inside and some fresh squeezed OJ. Amusing start to the day as apparently there are two choices of guck in the pastry but we did know that. It took the little lady quacking like a chicken to figure that out and we went for the chicken Combo. Muy Bien! So good we had another. The damage for this super breakfast: 3,000 Bs total (about $1.50 cdn). We spent the rest of the morning walking around town. For a country with a really bad ...

Our second destination will be the tallest waterfall in the world, Angel Falls. Our five days here won't seem enough after you see what we have in store for you. Day 5: We'll arrive at the Canaima Airport and be driven to the Canaima camp.we'll then be welcomed with a complimented lunch. We will take a break for the day. Day 6: We'll then be transported to a place called Sapito falls.We'll then be walking behind the waterfall. Don't forget to bring a swimsuit because we're ...

... slitted eyes to anybody who got too close to me, a muffled announcement was made which I couldnīt understand and then people started to shout and a woman screamed. People suddenly surged to the doors all trying to get out at once. Fearing only for the contents of my pockets I rode the wave of people out of the train and onto the platform. I did my quick man on fire impression again but everything was safe, looked up and could see lots of smoke coming from the last carriage of the ...

... The museum was once the house of a famous colonial general. I was kind of bored with the art and antiques, but the house itself was impressive because there aren't too many colonial houses around in Caracas that haven't been destroyed in the name of modernization or taken over by the sprawl of the ranchitos. I opted to not take the bus back to La Guaira and was dropped off with others at a ritzy mall in Las Mercedes. I strolled around for a bit ...
