I made my way through Panama then caught a flight to Caracas where I had planned on quickly heading toward the Angel Falls area. After trying to find my way to the bus station unsuccessfully (found out that it was closed) I got a place to stay for the night in the City. I have to say I felt fairly safe around Caracas. The mall I went to felt like any mall that would be in the states (all the same stores and same atmosphere). In the morning I made my way to the bus station after a bit of confusion again then to Cuidad Bolivar. The next day from Bolivar I caught a flight in a small Cessna to Canaima were I started my journey to Angel Falls by boat. The boat ride was amazing in itself up a fast flowing river with many rapids for 6 hours with the large Tepuis (large vertical cliffs to a flat top) found. Then finally we made it to Angel Falls itself were the group I was with camped for the night. WOW, it was almost unbelievable. Just simply incredible. The water falls over 800 meters before it hits the bottom. I plan on posting more about this but have to go for the now.

The falls sound pretty cool. Can't wait to see pictures.
I'm happy that you finally wrote about a "wow" moment...I was hoping/praying you'd get one of those!
Bolivar City! I used to live on Bolivar Street...
Where are you... Costa Rica? Glad you finally posted, getting concerned about your whereabouts!
Looking forward to pics of the Falls!
Hasta luego, amigo!
