Blogs from Capital, Venezuela, South America - page 4

It has been a while since the last blog but time flies by so fast when travelling! Finally it was time to move around in Southamerica and discover this beautiful place! I started off with a flight from Rio to Caracas. It was such an amazing flight, as I saw Rio from above by night, which was very impressive. After a stop over in Sao Paulo I landed in time in Caracas at 4.30 am in the morning. I have booked a trip to Los Roques and it was now the advanture to find the domestic airport to catch my flight at 6.30 am. This was definitely an advanture as it turns out that the airport is 1 km away from where I landed and there was no bus or anything going there, and walking in ... read more

One of the greatest things about travelling is that you actually have time, time to live. Time to appreciate everything there is to appreciate, to do the things you want to do, to think about the things you need to think about, to just be, be yourself, without pressure, without judgement, just you. Touring Brasil was marvellous, spectacular.... Brasil is my heart. But also it was tiring... I began to feel sleepy all the time- I think it was because I was going to bed late, not too late, around midnight, but when I was going to bed at 10:30 I felt fantastic!!
