Hi All,
 
Well here we are in El Yaque, Margarita Island again :0)
 
We had a pretty uneventful journey other than having to push the taxi out of Grant and Lisa's road because of the snow, having to unpack a couple of kilos of stuff from our cases and stuff it into our already crammed hand luggage to avoid €60 excess baggage charge, our flight to Madrid being delayed an hour (so thinking we might miss the flight to Caracas), arriving at Caracas and thinking that the nails which we were bringing...
