Closing remarks

Allo le monde,

Voici quelques points de fermeture de notre voyage à Margarita:

• People on the Island are very friendly, a bit reseved until spoken to
• The Island is pretty much a big desert, with some green mountains = nice
• Excellent coastal views all around, all different from one another
• Windy all the time during my stay
• El Agua is the nicest beach
• El Yaque is the funnest beach, and excellent windsurfing of course. Got to see Ricardo Campello in action!
• The Island tour we did with Marcos Tours (marcostours.com) is a must, and at the beginning of your trip. Ask him questions.
• Venezuelean women are very pretty, and all like to wear... well not much!

Things I will do next time there, and yes there will be:

• Visit Coche Island (shorth boat ride south of El Yaque)
• Visit Los Roques, money permitting
• Visit Canaima Park on the mainland, cash permitting
• Do much more windsurfing

All in all, the place grows on you. Expect a dry, rugged, and not always clean landscape. The water is not as nice as Cuba or Mexico but I still prefer it there. You seem more free and relax for some reason. We did the Last Minute All Inclusive formula and stayed at Hotel Portofino. $750 each taxes in buys you a week and that is cheap. We all had a really good time, weather can't be beat, price is cheap. What else can you ask for? Have questions? ask away, windsurfers and all.

Cheers,

Nic.

PS. Pics for proof...

Sorry.

Nic over and out.

Allo de sud

Yes we are all here enjoying some Excellent warm and humid (and windy) weather. Today we toured the island with Marcos from Marcostours. I don't have much time right now so I'll just post some pics for all u fans out there and comment tomorrow.

Never mind the pictures. This PC SUCKS and I'm not supposed to be stressed on holidays so screw this crap. Sorry folks. Pictures WILL follow soon.

Damn I hate PCs sometimes!!!!

Nic.

T minus 2 days

Yes I'm all smiles cuz I'm leaving HERE in 2 days. I'll be on the top portion of the island, BUT all the good WS spots are on the South. Hey... it's a small island and I can drive.

Check in from time to time for updates, if I find an Internet station.

Cheers.

Depart bientôt
