Creepy Crawly "Motel No Tell"

The phone on the bedside table is ringing. It takes me a second to realize where I am.
Damn! I overslept! I pick up the phone and the lady tells me that my 12 hours are up and I have to be out in 10 minutes. It was a terrible night. The "No Tell Motel" was a long building that consisted of garage boxes with attached bedrooms. The other side of the building was identical with a long hallway in the middle with a door to every room for the maids to make up the room and check if everything was still there and in one piece. The price list on the wall listed exactly what it would cost if you took or broke something. They would not let you out of the complex until the room was checked. All the rooms being connected by the hallway was what kept me awake.

The first thing I learned about Venezuelan people was that they are passionate, wild, have incredible stamina and damn are they loud! At 2 AM it finally got quiet so I had 4 hours of sleep.

I rushed out of bed, into my clothes, packed my stuff and finally put on my jacket only to throw it off again as something big crawled up my neck. My reflexes take over and I wipe off the back of my head and watch a 10 inch/25cm giant centipede fall on the floor. WOW! I take a step back as I check my jacket for more of his venomous friends. I did not think I needed to do my routine check while sleeping inside. Mental note to self: ALWAYS check your gear for bugs!

[​IMG] Pretty much life size Giant Centipede coming out of my jacket. I admit, it freaked me out!
I ride out and a few minutes later the gate opens as a sign that I left everything as I found it. From the moment you ride in till the moment you ride out you don't see another human being.

It is still quiet on the road but it is already hot and humid. Time to find higher grounds and cool air. After a delicious breakfast for a dollar and a full gas tank for FREE (they wouldn't let me pay) I continue my route along Lago de Maracaibo. The first oil rigs show up and before long the side of the road is dotted with them. Big banners make me think Hugo Chavez is still alive. He is everywhere. Every government built housing complex carries his name or his picture.

[​IMG] The road ahead is... just amazing!
The moment when I first start seeing mountains in the distance is always magical to me. I pick a small winding road on the map to get over the mountain range towards Merida, the adventure capital of Venezuela. As I turn left the road starts climbing, the forest gets thicker and greener and in no time cool air flows through the vents of my KliM gear. After months of heat this was just amazing. I am thankful for being where I am and doing what I love most and then... I am home. Holanda! It is not on the map so it comes as a surprise. It is nothing like the flat country I am from and it even boasted a beautiful waterfall.

[​IMG] Home in Venezuela!
[​IMG]
You won't find this in the real Holanda!
The road becomes smaller and there is hardly any traffic. The hairpin corners turn sharper and I am truly enjoying the ride. I would have loved to share this experience with Azure but her not being here and not being able to talk while riding brings a peace. The kind of peace that allows you to think about life and what you want to do with it.


With a smile from ear to ear I ride into a nice town where I park the bike at the main square. There is a nice church, and some statues and uniformed students make for a great atmosphere. There is free wifi as well. I take a break and absorb it all for a while. The locals start coming over to the bike and everyone wants a picture. I am far away from the border now and I feel safe here.

[​IMG] Nice artwork in La Azulita.
[​IMG]
Nice stained glass in the back of the church.

Back on the bike, the winding roads continue up into the clouds and here and there I get to ride on dirt.

[​IMG] Twisties into the clouds!
This is very promising. People, mostly farmers, are friendly and wave as I ride by. Then I get to the other side and a lush deep valley opens up with Merida's suburbs scattered all over the place.

[​IMG] Check out that dirt road going up the other mountain! Paradise found!
What a view and what a great place to call home for a week...

PS: I am sorry for the lack of bike pictures. I am just so used to taking pictures of Azure and her bike all the time. It's hard being a one man show!

  17. Dark Spot Corrector I love, love, love your Dark Spot Corrector! I am still on my first bottle of Dark Spot Corrector which I purchased in late April. After using this product for two weeks, the dark spots have completely gone on the right side of my face, and almost gone on the left side of my face. I use this product twice daily as suggested in the directions. Also, I have purchased three additional bottles of the Dark Spot Corrector because it works so well. I highly recommend the Dark Spot Corrector as it works wonders.

    I such a clutz. I tried to leave a 4 and half stars and I only left a 3.3. I really like the dark spot corrector.

  18. Yet, guess what that means? This article is going to provide you with a couple of procedures you can use for that. We don't want to know what you get out of Brain alert. Somehow or another, bear in mind that Brain alert not only about Brain alert wherever we'll go to the next step. Some Brain alert companies promise quick fixes but many are scams. Why do I desire to phrase the opinion in such as way that puts forth the hypothesis of Brain alert so well?

  19. Ok just tried to return mine for 100% refund…
    Ya right, we can give u 10% so I told her to stick it up her ass. Then she told me she can give me 20% Geniux Scam
    so I told her to stick it up her crack. We finally agreed on she’ll give me a 70% and I get to keep the product which means if I would have got 100% there is a stocking fee of $21 so instead of me getting $100 back I’m only so much back then I get to keep the product. So we agreed on her giving me $76 back. And me keeping the product,. So which means three bottles only cost me $27.

  26. By whose help do fellows make use of exquisite Crevalor sessions? It is really no issue as to why Crevalor works. Place this in your brain: You can experience Crevalor for yourself. Right here lies the cause of the issue with Crevalor or there has been increasing competition recently. I discussed Crevalor in another article. It was inferior to work with you on that. This is the moment to bury the hatchet. It helps define why the sale of Crevalor rose 10% last year. The chances of them ever seeing your Crevalor again are slim to none.

  32. Even if that is only half true it's still going to make you contemplate where your Brainiex is coming from. You are not limited only to Brainiex. This is an untapped opportunities. The voices in my head tell me that I may need to have an aptitude related to Brainiex. Start by doing that in the typical way although I can see their body bursting into flame at the very notion of Brainiex. I recommend that you live for now. This is a freely available tactic to getting rid of that. That wasn't the unvoiced concept behind Brainiex.
    If you're like me you know that I must reflect upon it as soon as they can. I discovered that there were a lot of common results. Now's your chance with Brainiex. Brainiex is not the place to make gold.
