y2k委內瑞拉之行（三）tour de island (圖)

Monday, Nov 6th

Sunny, beautiful sky

We rent a jeep by 50us$ and we 5 start our island exploration at 9:30 am, we go right hand side, not go to downtown. we go along the beach and we see some beautiful bay for boating. And beautiful golf club and nice hotel too, lots of beach. The jeep has only front window, no side window, back window, no top canvas  so we enjoy the sun tan and wind all the road, it's very exciting, think about driving 60 to 80 km/hr without window. the jeep is for 4 but we have 5, so I and Tom and Martie 3 in the back seat and I like a kit crouch in the middle, they two need to switch time by time to stretch leg. we go through several town, and stop by to buy beer, the price is amazing, 250bs for 355ml/can, that means 0.5cnd$ for a can. And more amazing when we fill the gas, for 20litre it take only 1250bs, that's 10canadian cents for a litre. Oh communism come true ahead of time.

the buildings are beautiful, typical spanish style, pink red, brick red are main color. poor house and beautiful garden join tightly together. we pass a pink church which is unique in the world(but we don't know that at that moment so we didn't take the picture of it, a little pity).

in the jeep tom and martie start sun tanning and it remind me the famous British movie "光豬六壯士" last year. we don't go table dancing but we dance using our heart in accordance to the rhyme of the nature.

we goto the far end of the island and circling around, it's a national park that let u see the forms of land. it feel like a green desert, not like Amazon jungle, but like Africa, plants are separated, u can see the soil and rocks, except no animals. one day I should go to Africa for the wildness world. there are lots of bay and beach all along the road and nobody there, u can stop anywhere, pull over the jeep into it and freely enjoy the nature or do whatever u want . we stop by a bay to get relief and take some cool pictures with the jeep.

we come back at 3pm and it's the first time I make a submarine, very delicious roast beef and fresh bread and good cheese. I won't forget the beef, i will try more roast beef and lamb when I back to Toronto, they told me New Zealand lamb is the best. Then we back to room to rest. After dinner we go out again towards downtown, Polarmar. we don't know rules and no one way sign, we like flies trying everywhere and go into lots of one way alley, and people friendly tell us as soon as we get in, seems they are very familiar with this situation. eventually we get to the boulevard , lots of shop, club and some shopping complex. we stop by a bar to take lots of drink and chatting. After a while, our polish friend leave us to another desk, because a woman there waving hand to him, then they start chatting and when polish guy come back he bring two girls, one is from mainland venezuela and one is from chile, go around all country, they are prostitute for sure, i am boring with them so I walk around and go into a 6 floor complex, it's a round beautiful shopping center, nice tropical plants in it. There are lots of club along the street but we don't go into and then come back to hotel. The jeep is too small so can only take one girl and sit on the polish's leg. she seems very enjoy the feeling of the jeep. but she didn't go into hotel directly but go around the beach to meet the pol.
