Did a day trip to see some small islands on the north-east ( Caribbean ) coast to Venezuela. Crystal clear water and empty beaches. Just what i needed. Snorkeling and chilling. There's a lot of rubbish floating around thou so hoping that Colombia is gonna offer me something better.  With the mountains in my back I'm leaving the beautiful highs and cold climate around Merida, south Venezuela, for this time but for sure I'd love to come back. First nigth up here gave us 11 degrees, a huge change for being in warmer climates for six month now. I wasn't really prepared for it, but I cant call myself Viking not enjoying it. First day me, Paul and sunny went canyoning. Drove up the mountains west of Merida, walked along side of the hills to get to our start point. Wetsuits, helmets and repelling gear on and we went down throu the water, climbing over rocks, sliding down I'm small waterfalls. There was four big waterfalls, highest was 35 meters. So happy that I'm not scared of hights anymore, thanks to my travelling. Kind of heavy being in a big waterfall trying get your ass down but enjoyable. Definitely rock climbing next !  Exhausted with soar legs and some blue spots here and there we were all fine and satisfied in the end of the day. Yesterday me, Sunny and Matt walked 3km up hill on 4000 m. Man, altitude is heavy. And even worse being a bit hangover. Yeah, I now it's all my own fallt.  We spend 2 hours chilling out in the hot spring, haveing an amazing view over the mountains around us. Georgeus.  We were supposed to go horse riding close by but there was no horses available so we walk around and our guide which was the best ever bought us one bottle of rum and a coce. Funny enough we found ourself very thirsty finishing the hole bottle in 20 min for the three of us. So, he bought us another one and joined us. Got back to town and kept going, being pissed since three in the afternoon. I had a two hour sleep and Got myself ready to leave at 06.30 this morning and here i am, still fine.. Our guide said to us "you are not normal tourist, you are funny". Never happened that he's been wasted with some tour group before. Found him passed out in Matt's bed this morning.  The views around here is, I don't know, I can't even explain how amazing everything here is. From the beaches in Rio de Janeiro up the Brazilian coast. Seeing national parks and cruising on the amazon. Seeing rainforest, animals and waterfalls in The Guyanas arriving to the highs of Venezuela. I feel like I'm on clouds enjoying every second and every minute of my life. I really liked the cooler climate over here. Think I been missing it and think I prefer a country with seasons. Loving this out of my nipples. South America, you have my heart already and I haven't seen half of it. Colombia, I'm all yours..  - John ME - Run.
