Ciudad Bolivar

It's taken a few days, but I've finally recovered from Mt. Roraima and am in a great little city called Ciudad Bolivar with the 4 Japanese guys at the moment. Tonight we part ways as Masa and I go to Mérida and the others go to Caracas.

I'm going to spend a few weeks in Mérida taking more Spanish classes and writing a game that I started working on before I left Sydney. It's only a little one, so it shouldn't take too long... though those are famous last words aren't they.

Hopefully I'll be able to rent an apartment in Mérida to get some peace and quiet and might even try to rent a computer as well, otherwise I'll be spending a lot of time in internet cafes.

It might seem a little odd to take a holiday from my holiday, but I've been getting pretty excited about doing something nerdy again. I'm even going to start a new blog to document the development. It will, of course, pollute this one with nerdy stuff, but I'm sure there is someway to filter out the computer talk :)

After Mérida I'll be heading into Columbia, which I am incredibley excited about. Everyone I've spoken to about it raves about the country and people, and I'm even going to spoilt myself and get laser eye surgery there. Cali is supposed to be a popular destination for the procedure, along with Sao Paulo, Brasil. It's supposed to be cheap and reliable there, and the thought of seeing properly again without glasses makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Luego.
