Margarita Island Venezuela & Caracas in 2001, digital cameras were very ordinary in those days so my apologies for the poor quality of the photos. 2001 was another frantic year for travel, two trips to Thailand & around the world via Spain, Venezuela & Los Angeles.

Caracas

Margarita Island Venezuela I wasn’t too impressed with Caracas, after a couple of days there I headed for Margarita Island. Above is the view from my hotel of the city & the surrounding mountains.

One of the best steaks I have ever eaten.

Margarita Island Venezuela It was Argentinian beef & I went back another night for a repeat. I was travelling with Les Scheffer back when we were good friends, it’s now 2020 & I have been on his blacklist for the last 5 or 6 years. 🙂

I’m sorry to sat Les passed away in March 2020, RIP.

I had arranged to meet a couple of ladies

We hired a car to check out the island
