Kitesurfing at Coche Island, Venezuela

Great sport, that’s why Klitschko instead daily workouts goes for this, if he wants to not lose shape. Be sure to try it. And so, let’s watch the video

The winter in Venezuela at Margarita Island.

Apparently this year it will not be Thailand! I am seriously thinking about the winter with my family on this island paradise.

Of the benefits
1) It’s always 25-30 degrees (not 45-50 as in Turkey, but the soft 25-30)
2) Great sea and nature. There is what to see and what to do there.
3) Cheap food- lots of fruit, fresh juices, lobsters, shrimps, oysters and other Caribbean banality. Fish. The average price for meat is 2 bucks for kilo. 0.7 cents per fruit around.
4) Awesome communications and internet. The guys use 20MB – they say it’s not the best package taken. There are more, etc.
5) Petrol is $1 for 40 liters.
6) Venezuelan are the most beautiful  and contact women in the world. I knew two at other resorts, for them sex is not the victim, for them it’s a lifestyle. You have almost every day of fun and relieve with booty Creole.
7) Alcoholic beverages. J & B is 6.5 bucks.
8) It is completely Duty Free Zone. There are cheap, clothes, shoes, perfumes, glasses. There are the coolest brands.
9) Flats in a good area cost $ 500-600. House with servants about 1K.

P.S. Hard Rock Cafe and Hilton, are not built in bad places. And they are also there.

Cons – they say there is crime. But I talked to people there, they say they have not met it for 2 years of life there.

There is so rich nature there. And anyone can find what to do and what to see.
