So it was up early for breakfast, pancakes and bacon… very traditional Venezuelan breakfast I am told. Then onto the truck that would take us up the past the Waterfalls we saw yesterday and to a long boat that would take us all the way to Angel Falls. We were told that we would get there by around 1pm… this actually meant 4 hours sitting on the food of a long boat… sure that would be great fun. We were joined today by 4 Germans, who seemed pretty nice! All who were fluent in English, so cross fingers Pedro may be a bit more inclined to show us some things and speak to us more.We started up the river for 30 minutes and then had to walk for 30 minutes as the rapids were too dangerous for us to be on board… Then it was back on the boat to sit! Luckily we had 2 stops along the way, one was a murky waterfall which just seemed like a breading ground for Cholera (I am sure it wasn't), and a little shelter which we ate our packed lunches - Ham and Cheese sarnies - nice!. On the plus side, we did encounter a very large spider - species unknown because our tour guide was incredibly inept. Good picture though. And also a rare breed of river chicken! Actually to be honest it was our dinner, floating in the river… they were trying to defrost the chicken… Worrying!Think we will all be eating Vegetarian tonight…So from here it was a long, but very picturesque journey to the Tepui that housed the largest waterfall in the world.. I do not do the trip justice really, I mean the scenery was spectacular, Jungle surrounding us, the clear river spitting up in our faces as the motorized long boat ploughed through the water…Unfortunately again Pedro was absolutely rubbish at showing us anything, the Germans in front spotted a Fish Eagle perched in a tree, but no chance for the camera to get a shot… This was it wildlife wise on the whole trip up! Very disappointing.As we approached the Tepui you could see the falls from a distance, my god what a site. Spectacular is not the word and this was from distance. As we approached the stop off we hit a rapid that drenched all of us, including our Cameras (as it was unexpected) but our lovely tour guide seemed to think this was funny! I am getting a little annoyed with him to be honest…The trek up to the falls we were also told to take our time and enjoy the Jungle, as this was a bigger rainforest than the previous, and far away from any civilization. We found ourselves numerous times in the middle of the rainforest with no sight or sound from Pedro, we literally just hiked up and left ourselves completely alone. Awful tour guide. Me and my new DSLR had a great time though, snapping all of the plants and trees which seemed interesting, some of the colours in here and there contrasts were absolutely amazing. Definitely not to be missed by hurrying. We also went under a huge spiders nest with hundreds of baby spiders viewable, no sight of Mum though thank god….!On asking the species - I got the shrug of the shoulders. Awful absolutely awful!Ok anyhow we reached the top where there was an outcrop to the falls themselves.This is by far the most amazing thing I have seen since being here, nearly as amazing as Megan's hair (humidity? Yeah right…).Its the world's highest waterfall at 979 m with a clear drop of 807m (found out from the web not our tour guide). It is an incredibly captivating site, just as the Great Wall of China had impacted me two years ago, this had the same stunning affect. It is completely indescribable, with the water blown by the wind making a spray effect at the bottom, hitting our faces (although we were still at a distance) as we stood staring. You do not realize how spellbinding this site is, the sheer drop from the summit is not clearly shown on pictures, its huge (15 times the size of Niagara - again off the net)… and the sound of the water cascading down is incredible. This will be a moment I will always remember for all of my life, a site like that you never forget. The weather also held out and it was glorious sunshine all day J.That night we slept in hammocks at the base of the falls, in a small shelter with no walls, just hammocks and a tin roof, and for dinner we had what we could only describe as "river chicken!.. tasted ok to me J.I have missed the darkness of these kind of places, last time was probably Kings Canon/Uluru Australia in swag bags. You do not realize how dark it can get until you have no light whatsoever… I found it really fun with two bug nets over me and only an iPod for light! What could be out there? I lay swinging in my hammock for a couple of hours before drifting off, I think Megan didn't get any sleep at all though…Upon waking up we cleared the bugs and spiders that had taken a liking to our nets in the night, and incredibly Megan didn't sleep a wink… Surprise. We got to see the falls from distance again in the glorious sun filled morning, still awe inspiring to say the least! Our exit from Venezuela was nearly as eventful as our entrance. I was so furious with our s*** tour guide that I will be making a complaint (and I don't complain very often). The only plus sides of our trip back were Megan and I being given a private Jet for the route back to Ciudad Bolivar… very cool - see pictures! And an upgrade which enabled us to fly to Caracas from Puerto Ordaz instead of catching the bus (thank god!). And then slept in Caracas airport until our flight that was suppose to be at 8am. I wouldn't recommend this, as although it saved money - it's a renowned place for kidnappings as the airport is corrupt.. and Megan got approached by two guys who tried to take her upstairs to a sleeping place. Luckily they were easily scared off. Waking up - flight delayed until 1pm, that's a 23 hour transit… nice! And met by a 25 pound exit fee eachL. I am not a happy bunny.Angel Falls - amazing!Tour guide - the worst ever! s*** is a very appropriate wordTour company - in negotiations, but absolutely awfulVenezuela as a whole - I wouldn't go back… and I am very sad about that.
