Advantages: Relaxing, beautiful Disadvantages: Not much to do except relax!
Unlike many places in the world now, the most spectacular part of a trip to the small Venezuelan village of Puerto Colombia is still the journey to reach it. This collection of posadas and the adjoining colonial village of Choroni are situated a mere 2 hour drive from Maracay on the west Caribbean coast of Venezuela yet they seem like they are a truly rural slice of life. The main reason for this is that the journey to the village involves a hair raising ride crossing over a mountain and through the Henri Pittier National Park. Either by bus or by shared taxi, you hurtle through hairpin bends, usually arbitrarily using either side of the road and swinging widely back to the proper side when a vehicle appears coming the other way, up around 2000metres into the clouds and then back down to sea level.

My name is Jonathan, I am a 21 year old student at Warwick, I went to Colombia in the summer of 2006, and wanted to share a little bit of it...

My journey in Colombia began on the caribbean coast and ended on the border to Ecuador, where my travels continued down the West coast to ...

My 3 year old daughter loves Maisy Mouse. She's a small white mouse that looks like she has been drawn by an infant, but still he has all the features of a mouse and all the charm as well. Although very basic in design Maisy Mouse appeals to children's imaginations. Maisy always looks happy, smiling and appeals to children of all ages.
There are many books about Maisy Mouse, there is also a television series so the chances are that your child already knows who she is. If your child is a lover of Maisy then this backpack would be perfect.
The product that I am reviewing is the Maisy Mouse Backpack that is a large canvas backpack with two compartments and a red handle. It is neither too big nor too small to fit your child's prized posessions. If your child is a fan of Maisy Mouse then you really should invest in this backpack before ...
