| Okay, I am cheating
a little bit. This picture was actually taken in Puerto La Cruz, a horrible city to the
east of Caracas (5 hours or so by bus). The ocean is too polluted to swim in, but
ferries bound for Margarita depart the city's ferry terminal several times a day. It cost
6000 Bs for the cheapest ticket one-way. |
I met Phil and Mary at the ferry
terminal, a very nice couple from London who accepted to hang out with me for a couple of
days (in exchange for money, of course). We played some card games, which I lost, and
drank quite a bit of Polar Beer. Later, we actually met up in Merida, but I did
unfortunately get a good picture of Mary to post. |
This picture is
from Pompatar, a small town situated around 15 minutes from Porlamar (the capital of
Margarita). There is not much to do on Margarita, expect from lazing on the beach, but the
sea pelicans certainly kept us entertained. Phil told me he wants to become one when he
grows up, and that is of course a good dream to have. |
