 | Most Venezuelan hotels do not
offer or include breakfast in the rates - but on the other hand, all over
the country, you will find "Panaderias", which are bakeries that
also sell fantastic coffee, and are open all day long. |
 | After our experience, avoid
the "conventional" ferry between Isla Margarita and Puerto la
Cruz. They take more than 4 hours, and do NOT offer minimal comfort - the
one we caught took nearly 5 hours, and the convenience store never opened,
leaving us hungry and thirsty, apart from the fumes of the diesel engine
everywhere, and a virtually inoperant AC. This was quite the contrary of the
"Margarita Express", which cut the crossing to under 3 hours in a
cat-style ferry, with all the perks and creature-comforts one would expect
on a decent ferry, and open restaurant from the beginning to the end. |
 | If using a Brazilian car,
remember to only fill "Sin Plumo"
(unleaded): all cars sold in Brazil only use unleaded fuel. |
