Preparation and anticipation

Hello and welcome,

I thought it would be fun to document this little adventure of mine and share my experiences of travelling to Venezuela for the first time. I hope you find it an enjoyable read.  Will try to post photos too.

This journey commenced in Oslo at 4am on 29th October 2012. I woke up to my surprise to find that it had snowed over night, and not just a little snow. Everything around was covered with a thick layer and it was still snowing. Prior to this we had had a gorgeous sunny, though cold weekend and the autumn colours were still vibrant. So it was quite a change. Not the best weather for flying either. So to no surprise my flight was unable to take off at the scheduled time and was delayed almost two hours.

I finally arrived closer to midday in a surprisingly sunny and warm London, my first pit-stop en route. Now a brief stay with my sister in North Greenwich and a little sight-seeing around the O2 arena and Canary Wharf before catching the early morning flight tomorrow to Madrid for a connecting flight to Caracas. Hasta luego!
