bwenos!
We are back in Santa Fé after a few days away on an eastern beach called Playa medina. Its noted to be the most beautiful beach in Venezuela, and true it is, absolutely spotless white sand, cool water, and around 400 meters of coconut tree lined beach. We were staying in a hotel 2 kms away up a mountain, so it was a bit of a walk in the sun, after a hard day on the beach, but I guess somebody has to do it hey?. It was disappointing though. The day trippers coming to the beach were messy (just throwing litter everywhere), quite drunk and playing RAGATON music out the back of their cars (Ronald's brother in Merida was into big fancy car stereo systems and other car gadgets but hes 19 that's OK these guys were in their 40s!). Ragaton is a mix of Salsa (lovely, hip swaying, sensual music) and reggae (the style that's heavy beat, bouncy etc) so the combination of the two was terrible and played really loud.
Oh well, their country their beach their ways I guess.
We are back in Santa Fé now, and since being away, we really appreciate it more. Its a small fishing village, the fishermen go out early in the morning, and come back with so many fish that they have a lot to spare for the hungry pelicans that hang around. Round the corner is the swimming beach, a lovely local beach, with a few posadas(hotels), great restaurants right on the beach selling fresh fish, juices and wonderful salads. And no Ragaton (well, not much). The tourists that come here are usually here for a few nights, so its great to stay here and meet different people every night and not get bored with them! Also the amount of tourists is great as its never crowded but there generally always someone to talk to. For example last night we met a few great girls (two swedes on UK and on US - you know who you are!) and I sat on the roof of our hotel with them looking out over the Caribbean drinking rum, opening our hearts and talked way into the early hours. Wonderful.
Our hotel is pretty basic, it looks half completed, but its a great place to chill. Ive taken to taking my siesta on the roof in a hammock hearing the sound of the waves and gently swaying in the breeze.
Next stop is seeing Rokil and Gaudy in Checneneveiche (or somewhere) to the west of Caracas.YES! Its true! (lets see what happens:) !).
arrriiiibe! aarrrrriiibe! ondalay! ondalay!
hastalavista .... baby
