you would think spending four days in a city would mean that all the sites are covered...wrong. this city was what made me dislike venezuelans. it took us two days to exchange money (by that time we didnt even have enough money for a taxi ride approximatley 3US)

we had three things we wanted to see....two dams and a park. two of which lied within the city limits. we managed to get to the park by taxi however the dams were another story. Any way long story short there were no maps of the city and there were no travel agents that did tours...

We tried to take a bus to the parks but didnt recognise our stop, 1.5 hours latter in the middle of a bad area of town they said it was the end of the line and we had to get off. Luckly another bus turned up and we just went back to our hotel.
