Playa de Uva
Travel for the past couple of weeks has been driven and taxing. While we were hoping to catch an anaconda or 3 in Los Llanos while in Venezuela, we soon realized that the combination of high season here as well as the heavy rains (less easy wildlife viewing) made our options far less than ideal. So instead we decided to take a break and head to the beach for a much needed rest from it all. We pushed way beyond the limits of our budget and booked ourselves into Playa de Uva - a tiny beach resort to the north of Venezuela - the Caribbean sea.
Our first night on arrival in Rio Caribe (the nearest town) was great as we stayed in a really good inn - Villa Antillana. Janine was especially impressed with the architecture, the excellent breakfast and, especially, the two puppies and one cat that belong to the inn! The manager treated us really well and dropped us off at Playa de Uva the next day. Our 3 days there were like heaven on earth. While the lodge, like most things in Venezuela, was not exactly value for money - we still had the most delightful time lazing next to the pool or in the hammock, enjoying the beaches, eating excellent food and just doing lots and lots and lots of relaxing. The weather was perfect and it seemed that every time we retired to our wonderfully airy bungalow the tropical rains would begin to pour - magical. It was probably the most battery-recharging time we have ever experienced.
