went here in August 2005. Will return this year:)

A year spent exploring South East Asia, Australasia and my favouriter continent of South America

4 October:Last night in South America tonight!  Had to leave the beach at 6.45am in a mini-van to Puerto la Cruz, and our connection to Caracas at 9am.  The bus terminal was brand new, so very clean and organised.  Interesting to note that on the buses to Caracas, men are not allowed…

Currently in transit at Caracus airport.  The city looked nice from the air at night.  Never mind the dicatator who runs the show. Aeroplane travel strikes me as odd when I think about the fact I am hurtling through the air at 35,000 ft in a steel tube.  The concerns and rigours go…

It was the first time I flew in a 2-storey airplane boarding almost 500 passangers. Was it huge! The downside to this was that we had to wait for all the losers from the delayed connecting flights. Boarding beginning 1-hour later than planned and 2-hour wait inside the airplane... fantastic start t…

im packing up and leaving home again after just 6 months of working. first stop is peru

So we finally arrived at Caracas! Could have kissed the ground like the pave. Immigration can take a while, so be prepared: you might make sure that you have been to the toilet and have some water with you before joining the lines. Of course also have your immigration and customs papers ready. Als…

Viajo América do sul para 6 meses

Caracas is the jump off point for most of attractions in Venezuela.  the first couple of things that will stick to your memory is the hot humid tropical air and lush vegetation.  if you are hot blooded and have a temperature of a hundred and three, also the tight jeans on the lo…

Op 22 juli vertrek ik voor 4 maanden naar Zuid-Amerika. Het is waarschijnlijk een van de spannendse, boeiendste, gevaarlijkste en ruigste dingen die ik in mijn leven zal doen. Met deze blog kan je me volgen en een indruk krijgen van de avonturen die ik daar beleef.

    An interesting day. A battered up old van picked me up on time - at 5 am! The road was even bumpier than before due to the storms and the smell of fuel in the cab made me nauseous, which is never a good start to travel. I got to the airport at 0630, so there was plenty of time. U…

Caracas airport was not as busy or un safe as we were expecting, it´s so clean and an impressive terminal. It must be said that the local taxi drivers can seem a little pushy..even just to simply offer their black market ¨cambio¨rates. Unfortunatley we had a few problems with our connecting…

Theres definitely more to explore

Economic prudence once led me to a Caracas, Venezuela, dance hall where the languid human scenery relaxed with a steady balm-climate mañana attitude. Usually, the higher up on the socioeconomic ladder one travels, the more the likelihood of meeting an English-speaking acquaintance increases. I…

I`m travelling from the north to the west in 6 months. I started in Venezuela and will visit Colombia, Peru and Bolivia, maybe Ecuador or even Argentina or Chili. We`ll see ...
