Isla Margarita and Los Roques

It's time to relax a bit in the sun so we head of to Isla Margarita and Los Roques.

Isla Margarita 
First we stayed for a couple of days at the most popular beach of Playa Agua. We then headed off to the small fishing village of Playa Zaragoza - a less touristic place with a more tranquil environment and only one posada. The Posada Atlantic have nice rooms and great staff. Located on the beach streaching a few kilometers and along it where plenty small houses painted in strong colors.

Los Roques
Archipelago Los Roques National Park (also known as the Maldives of the Carribean) consists of many islands and atolls, but only the main island (El Gran Roque) is habited. We chartered boats to bring us to near by island and secluded beaches. The local fishermen also served delicious fresh lobster here for about NOK 255 per kilo or half of that price if you did exchanged dollars/euros on a black marked :-)

Per-Ove did two dives and uploaded some photos and a video (below).

 

We headed off to Caracas for a few days. And on the 18th January we arrived to Jamaica...

Thank you to Mabel, Andreas, Isabell and their family for making Venezuela such a great place to stay!
