Ciudad Bolivar
Overnight from Santa Elena in a bus and we arrived in Ciudad Bolivar. We definitely cannot say that this is the best place we have ever stayed but we did end up spending 3 nights in total. We struggled with everything from getting money from a bank to finding food. The vibe, the huge old Fords and the general feel however make it a quaint city nonetheless. There was an international jazz festival on just near to where we stayed so we had jazz to lull us to sleep - South American style.
Culture shock: We searched and searched for a restaurant or decent food selection in a supermarket and found none. The city is just blocks and blocks of enormous shoe and clothing stores, the supermarket isles and isles of hair products and the country has one beauty salon for every restaurant!
