Day 20 (309
km)
The a/c was freezing last night, but at least
all our clothes, bags are dry now, had to fix the exhaust, but the threads
were gone so I made the best out of it and we left for San Fernando. An hour
later we reached this big dump city with a lot of unorganized traffic, asked
for directions how to get to Cabruta on the Orinoco, but nobody knew where I
was talking about and almost gave up till one truck driver explained it to me
and he sounded, he knew where he was talking about.
After finally
getting into the direction he wanted us to go, I realized he was sending me to
the Colombian border in the south where the Orinoco Venezuela enters.

But then the gas
was cheap, so we decided to continue and just before 2 pm I lost a part of my exhaust
(The part I fixed this morning) and had a hard time finding it, but Scotty
found it on the end. Continued to Puerto Paiz, looking if someone could tag
aluminum, but nobody could, till someone ribbed it and now it is finally in
good shape. The road from San Fernando was almost a straight road of 240 km
through the same landscape as yesterday, all you saw was cows and underwater
savanna, with the typical wild live, hardly any cars, houses, we came across
and it was hot, the sun boiling and must have drank 2 gallons of water!

In the evening we checked the Orinoco River out and realized
we had to take a barge ferry to get across for $1.00, what we will do tomorrow.
