Mochima Park
23 August 2008 | Venezuela
This is Mochina Park on the way to Puerto La Cruz. It is very beautiful. There are some security issues here so we are a little reluctant to go without another boat.
We made two trips to Puerto La Cruz this past week by bus to deliver and pick up our propeller. It is normally a 1 1/2 hour trip. The second trip went much smoother than the first. We caught the first bus at 7:30 a.m. leaving almost immediately after we arrived at the terminal. It was not the fancy, air-conditioned luxury bus but an older bus with windows that opened (or more accurately were stuck open). Other than the fact that a couple of people smoked cigarettes on the bus during the trip, the driver was excellent, the music relaxing and we had a great view. On the luxury buses they ask you to keep the curtains closed, which I refuse to do, but you still don't get much of a view with everybody else with their curtains closed. The cost of the trip on the basic bus was about $3.50 per person. Amazingly economical.
