MY LAST VACATION
In my last vacation. I went to Margarita Islands. I will never forget this travel.
My boyfriend and I decided to visit
my family in Venezuela .He works in Brussels and we planned to see each other
in Venezuela.
My travel started in Medellin. I bought an airplane ticket to travel from
Medellin to Cucuta. from there. I took a taxi to cross the border. I was
very nervous because the situation is tense in Venezuela .Police checked my suitcase
and all my personal stuff.
When I arrived to
Caracas My family and my boyfriend were waiting for me in the airport and the following day, we went
to the Margarita Island .The hotel where we stayed is very nice and close to
the beach , but its was dangerous to go out at night.
We visited interesting
places and we tried different kinds of food which wassimilar to Colombian food.
Venezuela is a
rich Country. People could fill up their cars for $ 300 Colombian pesos and
they pay $ 500 Colombianpesosfor natural Gas to use at home and for their cars.
When we came
back to Caracas, we visited touristic places such as Bolivar’sHouse where we
learned about his life. We also visited museums, parks, andrestaurants.
We took thesubway to get to different places because the
price was very cheap .It was $ 50 Colombian pesos.
The cleaning
products are very cheap. My boyfriend tookadvantage of it. He bought
twenty-fourth toothpastesand he pay $ 200 Colombianpesos for each. Webought
sunscreem, skin cream and pills.
We went to the
airport to buy our return tickets because we wanted to go back toColombia. It
was not easy to find tickets online .We were for 4 hours in the airport
to try to buy airline tickets, but we received
bad news the airlines didn't have any tickets to Colombia .I was very nervous
because I could not spent any more time in Venezuela. Then we decided to
buy a flight to Maracaibo. From there, we took a taxi to cross the border
butits wasn't a good idea because Venezuela police stopped the taxi about
2o times. They checked the suitcase and they smelled the clothes and shoes to see
if they werenew or old and sometime police took things people bought in
Venezuela.
The road between
Maracaibo and Colombiawas very long and I was very nervous on one occasion when
Police tookmy boyfriend's passport .They kept us fora long time and they asked us
many questions. In the last Police station theytookmy boyfriend out of the taxi
and they kept him for 2 hours inside the policestation .I was waiting for him inside
the taxi surroundedby many police. This was the worst experience for mein this
holiday.After that, we arrived to Maicao. From there we took a Bus to
Barranquilla. We visited my family for a day and the following day, we
cameback to Medellin
