Some final notes on Venezuela
... water, it costs a dollar a bottle at the cheapest. A twix bar costs $2!! Terrible traffic jams!

First I intended to go the the aloe plantation on the east side of Willemstad - ...
The National Park and Northern Beaches
... He offered to go with me. I decided it was probably OK so said yes thanks. The lighthouse wasn't that special but the north shore is rocky and has plenty of wave action so it is very nice. He then offered to show me some other places. Some of them I had already been to so he said that Boca Tabla was close by. A woman here at Landhuis Daniel had recommended it. I thought it was a swimming beach but it is more of a scenic ...
