My weekend trip to El Dorado, Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela.
Hello beehive, I hope you all are well mainly health, days ago for the end of February I made a short trip within the same state Bolivar, where I live, I already have if a week, but now I will tell you how it went.
I was thinking of leaving on Wednesday 28th but because I did not coordinate well with the man who would take me, I was left with my bag packed, I was with another man and car for the next day on Thursday 29th, I went to the town of El Dorado, a small town, with mining areas, which to be within the same state is about 8 hours of travel, the reason for the trip was that my boyfriend Juan, I introduced him to you, he had his birthday on February 29th, but he does not have his birthday every 4 years.
So early on Thursday the car came to pick me up at my house, there was already a passenger and we had to look for other people, and with all the people in total 5 with the driver, I entrusted myself to God and enjoy the trip until I reached my destination.
We went through different tolls, checkpoints, checkpoints, where they checked cars, luggage, so we took the opportunity to stretch our legs, eat something too, what I did not want was to arrive at night.
Until I finally arrived, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the man in the car made good time, they were waiting for me and with lunch I was hungry, then I took a bath, rest a while, for the birthday in the evening, there were not many guests, it was something simple but of course the cake could not miss, I met other members of the family of Juan, they are not many: his mother, brothers, aunt, cousins.
After finishing the meeting we went to sleep, I fell like a stone, because of the tiredness of the road, but I was happy to be there.
On Friday it was already March 01, it was to know the town, it was heard that they were preparing for the festivities of the same, for Saturday, it is a small town, about two main streets, however there are many stores, One of them belongs to Juan's aunt, it is private, there is a square, a health center, pharmacy, the only thing that is not good is that the electricity goes out a lot, sometimes it lasts up to 3 days, but when there is a wifi signal it is wonderful, so I communicated with my mother every day.
We arrived on Saturday, a holiday, in the morning was the parade with the participation of students from different schools, civilians, the school band, the children were happy with their various costumes, in the evening was the election, crowning of the queens: In the evening was the election, crowning of the queens: child and youth, so they were already mounted the stage, came the night the queens were chosen, the prizes were very good in dollars and gold grams, then the musicals, everything went wonderfully, there is a lot of security, until we went to sleep.
There were only a few days left of my little trip, so when we woke up on Sunday after breakfast, we went to the Yuruari river, we went on motorcycles, other friends were there, we went over the bridge, where there is a river there is a bridge, there are two, the old one that is no longer used and the new one, we arrived at what is a camp, where they take shelter when they spend days looking for gold in the river is one of the main activities that take place there.
They hunted an iguana that would be lunch, also a snake that was then released into the river, thank goodness I did not bathe, I enjoyed the place, the river, I took many pictures, and then the return before it got dark, also followed the party in the village, but we did not go, I had to organize again the travel bag, which would be the next day Monday.
Monday of return, we looked for another car, there are buses but they leave mostly at night and I did not like to travel at night, alone even less. On the way I was talking to my mom and Juan where I was coming from, this time I arrived at night and my mom was waiting for me outside, happy to be at home.
I really spent some different and beautiful days, I needed to go out for a few days like this, because it's been years since we went on vacation, we hope that this year we will do it.
Thank you all for joining me on this trip.
