it´s not always fun in the sun

sometimes it´s fun in the rain, all for the best I guess to keep things GREEN!
5 girls on a freezing cold overnight bus to the sucre state where tales tell of the best beaches in Venezuela. We started at the rustic mineral spa and hot springs where we were completely by ourselves. It was almost just us as we took full advantage of all 16 natural springs and mud baths. The mud took a while to dry in the sun, but that was the maintenence worker's entertainment for the day as he edged closer and closer to our serene spot to get a better look. The place was awesome, food was great (we ate buffalo) and people were amazingly hospitable.
Following our muddy body experience we moved closer to the beaches. In and out of Carupano and Rio Caribe we managed to find a chauffer to our private beach for the day- Playa de Uva. There were 2 others on the beach besides us and I don´t think they noticed that we were there. Perfect day with sangria and rum on the beach. My shoe broke because we were dancing in the rain, but that added to the greatness of it all.
Sarah and Mira had to cut the holiday weekend short because work called, but the 3 amigas remained and conquered the town of Rio Caribe on a rainy Monday eating at the only open restaurant in town, and again on Tuesday to conquer the beaches and rain with the help of some other foreigners from Britian, the U.S. and even Caracas!
Playa Medina IS all it´s cracked up to be, even if the sun isn´t blazing hot, the local Rio Caribe locos ARE in fact loco, to be equipped to travel on buses here you should always bring a blanket and coat. Everyone brings a blanket and coat. doh!
