Hi all,

Well since the last entry all we have really been doing is checking out the island, sunbathing and going to Discos!! The shopping in margarita is great, just a shame I have absolutly no space in my backpack!! There is a big mall called Sambil in Porlamar (about 20 mins from where we are staying) and it has all the western shops like mac stores, zara, aldo, levi, timberland, mango etc. It also has a food court with McDonalds, KFC, Subway and a Hard Rock Cafe!!

Yesterday we had a tropical rain storm in the evening! It rained from 5pm till the early hours of the morning & it was proper belting it down (felt right at home)!!

Today we went on a trip to an Island called Coche Island 2 hours away from Margarita. We travelled on a catamaran and it was great fun! The island was picture perfect with powder white sand and crystal clear water. We even went on a banana boat but after Turkey last year & my rope burns we told them to go easy!

We had lunch on the island and stayed there until the early afternoon then set off back to Margarita. The journey back was a lot rougher and we were all not liking it very much!

Well we only have 2 more days here so the next entry will probably be from brazil, but we will try & get some photos on tomorrow!
