Back to Ciudad Bolivar...

After the 6 day trek the group enjoyed not onoly a small lie in but a lazy day having a leisurely breakfast at the local cafe. After a team meeting where R&R plans were finalised some of the group took taxis over the border to do some shopping in Brazil in La Linea, a small town very much geared up for tourists, unlike most of Venezuela! Loaded with shopping bags, some of us even with hammocks, we returned to the camp to go on the overnight bus to Ciudad
Bolivar. This journey was not without incident, after only 15 minutes the bus broke down and we had to wait 1 1/2 hours for another one to turn up. Eventually we switched coaches and continued on our way. Another day´s rest in Ciudad Bolivar allowed the group to sleep, eat and more importantly buy supplies for our trip to Angel Falls.
