small balance of my trip àCoche from February 7 to 21 with my girlfriend who taught ...
1 Flight:
we had a plan with a French living in Isla Margarita and rampant on this forum (see post margarita, tick) these prices are unbeatable ....
it is not necessary to book its flight between Caracas and Porlamar (if you go through caracas) because flights are "random", ours has been superseded by a flight three hours later ...
2 hotels:
at first, we stayed at the El Yaque Yaque Paradise with breakfast included. correct hotel a bit old but clean and cheap. staff does its job but no more ... suddenly, we took the boat every day to go and check this bad surprise, it's 50 bolivars (slightly less than 10 €) per person round trip! the budget is likely to take a slap ....
but the mono kite my girlfriend talks about brisas del mar check that is all inclusive. So we change hotel and there is happiness! the rooms are really small apartments very cool, clean and spacious. the food is very good even if you turn round quickly at the range ... and most importantly, the staff is on top! always ready to serve you! you can even use the wifi internet and last trump, the price: it is normally from 52 € per day per person is responsible but the prices for kiters who can pay in euros or dollars and there .... , AC is really worth to us (cheaper than El Yaque) ... In addition, the hotel has its own boat to shuttle between Yaqui and tick free ....
3 the money:
the black market is very present for the changes, the first person to be addressed to make changes is a cop! crazy! they are all there! it is useful to change a small amount to the airport to pay taxes but the highest rates are found in the street .... attention so when you pull out your ticket .... take dollars but euros are also highly regarded .... when we were there the average officiux was 1 € = 7 bolivars $ 1 = 5.5 bolivars but it varies depending on the amount and size of cuts ....
in all cases it is better to pay in bolivars, no scam on the exchange rate even if sometimes you do traders a better price if you pay in € or $. as an indication of the taxi to El Yaque in porlamar should not cost you more than 25 bolivars otherwise the driver will scam ...
4 ° kite:
apparently this year is not a winter top and well, I sailed almost every day (one day when it was light and I'm the lazy ...)! ! we had a little bit of rain (unusual for the season). if the spot is perfect for freestyle, flat clear because off (perfect for learning) and safe as the boats are here to help if needed (30 bolivars) ... school chris is on the spot, perfect for waiting for the wind gets up in the shade. you can rent lockers to store your gear. my girlfriend took lessons with Nicolas, a single french super nice and available and has made good progress!
voila, although apparently it was not the best conditions we had a good stuffed and looking forward to returning for cons, the next we will not overlook Los Roques ....!
if you have any questions just ask!!
PS: for fans of fone, the store solokite (at El Yaque in hotel california) sells the bandit back has good prices, eg the 9M is complete to 990 € (negotiable I think ...)
