Beach & Travel Days

On Wednesday (June 17)we left Caracas to Puerto Columbia, which required going through a high mountain pass. We arrived there by 2pm. Our goal here is to enjoy the beach, which is what we did that afternoon and the next day. The waves were awesome to play in--it was like we were kids again. It was a great place to chill out.

On Friday (June 19) we left to go to Barinas. While it was only 530 km, it took us over 13 hours. Why so long? Because of the mountain pass we had to cross again, the traffic in the cities, our breakfast and lunch stops, as well as a grocercy stop. Saturday was another long drive--only 230 km, but we crossed the Andes. As a result, it took 7 hours. But the scenery was specatular--where we had lunch was simply amazing. We´re now in Merida, which will be our base for activities for the next several days.
