Such a day...the longest flight commute I have ever taken: NYC - Atlanta - Aruba - Curacao - Caracas. 4 flights for only getting to Caracas. And 2 of them were badly delayed. And guess which ones? Right; the ones departing from Aruba and Curacao. I smiled unintentionally when I realized it, remembering that I have been told so many times that everything is slow and late in Latin America. When a guy in the check-in line asked a lady who works in the airport if it is fine that the registration time is over and that the plane leaves in 30 minutes and that there are still like 30-40 people in front of him in the line, the lady just told him that "its okaaaaay, the plane leaves whenever everybody finishes" =O Just like they say here in Caracas...they test your patience. And looks like no one ever in rush for anything.
After seeing such a stunning sunset trough the plane's window...
...I had been both cheered up and disappointed.
Two lovely señoritas at the customs were so happy to know that soy de Rusia and that estaré viajarlo por Venezuela para tres semanas that they told me after that I should definitely pruebe las arepas =)
But after getting to my host's home I couldn't find a nice metal water bottle that I stupidly stuffed last minute into the side pocket of my backpack that I checked-in in Aruba =( The world responses to our actions...if you act stupid you will get what you deserve.
