Puerto Columbia

Now in puerto columbia, rather more backpackery than Colonia Tovar. Unfortunately last night I was down to my last 5000 Bolivars (one pound) so saved that in case I needed to get a bus back to Maracay (the nearest big town) and could buy neither dinner nor a goodnight beer. However today I discovered the hotel front desk would change money for me so now I have one hundred billion Bolivars to spend. Will spend another night here and head for Caracas around lunchtime tomorrow, I think.
