Read Lonely Planet aboard the flight, I tip handy and I avoid being scammed in the airport. It appears that too many taxi drivers only too ready to ease the fake tourists ´ loads that separated them from their luggage. With this in mind we boycotted all offers taxi as we left the departure lounge, went directly "Ford explorers" black licensed recommended.
We have seen one of Caracas. We drove through steep valleys flanked by green hills, which gradually became more and more-covered ´ barrios ´-shanty towns built the famous cities of icky. The houses were mostly red bricks and mortar or unadorned breeze blocks and look as if they were built cheaply and quickly.
We approach the Centre, traffic has progressively crazier-password 6 lanes grapple with cars, weaving poles between lanes in apparently random order. Then when the heavier traffic, vendors of newspapers featured lasting between Arcade with daily newspapers. Scary.
Hotel in Alta Mira Sarah was clean and friendly, our room was small but OK, we had so little TV (with Venezuelan series channels to choose from 35). The stories of 6 just above the noise of traffic (motorists, which seemed to put the Venezuelan communications system is a complex conversation using car horns) but managed to blend of hustle to manage pending power 1/2 hour before heading out to explore Caracas.
We headed for lunch in a restaurant I recommend our book a few streets from the hotel directory. The weather was warm but with a nice refreshing breeze after positive heat Tobago. Despite being closer to the equator, Caracas 900 m up in the hills, more so now that liking me. Mira Alta Plaza is the cornerstone of the picturesque square of tranquillity surrounded by busy roads. Just arrived at a residential area. There were some very pretty houses lining the roads, but everything was surrounded by walls, gates and barbed or electric fences, enhances the reputation of Caracas as a little racy side of security.
After lunch we caught a nice downtown subway. French manufacture has been excellent, Metro: quiet, air-conditioning and clean sbarklingli, invasive plants and lighting subdued reminding me equivalents Moscow and Washington (without chandeliers and werisbisivili tourists fat). Several people were definitely quality above unwashed "London underground", bought moltitikit for 10 trips anywhere on the system for 8 p per trip!
We emerged from kabitolio station in a market crowded sidewalk, drove after booth selling CDs, DVDs of the latest Hollywood movies, PC software, clothing, fruit ... So we saw a woman sells products scouring sat beside kitchen sink, complete with fountains and drining Board running water. Where can you say categorically that it sold everything.
We strolled through Caracas live this afternoon, after a walk of Bolivar. " Simón Bolívar was revolutionary who led an uprising against Spanish blood in the nineteenth century and established the Republics from Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia. It's too much modern hero in Venezuela, with each city and town and village, no matter how small, after "Plaza Bolivar" in his honor. It took Sir Bolívar in the past various sights-the birthplace of the Parliament building in Bolívar, he established the Cathedral where his funeral was held 10-pin bowling centre where he hit etc in-row strikes 12 legendary etc.
Aunfortontili a bunch of museums on the road was closed on Mondays, and we got to "Plaza Bolivar" ready for talks. It was about 100 square meters square, nicely landscaped, with flower beds and also tends the fountain at each corner. Status and the bronze big man skoltbori himself up on his horse breeding and sneer "come and get some Spaniards!" at destination.
Further north, we walked up to the pedestrian street in the past lush playing chess a few locals, walking in the impressive Tomb in Bolívar, specified in the command ... "
