G´day,
After a very interesting first night spent mostly at the Simon Boliviar Airport, Caracas due to car problems, we had a change of plan which saw us staying in Valencia with Alex´s parents for a couple of nights. It is now early morning and about to resume to orginal plan of heading to the Grand Savanah (2 days drive), I don´t know much about it but Alex and Emiro (Alex´s brother) say it is like nothing else. We will be camping for 6 days so i will not be in contact for a while.
Venezula is a beautiful country but seems to have many problems, most seem very paranoid about safety but with good reason. Many areas are safe and very nice but during the day, others you do not stay around long, and yes I am being careful Mum... The weather is a lot like our Summers mid 30´s and humid. I haven´t taken many photos but will get some up on the blog when i get to Argentina.
¡Salud!
