I was advised to stay in the airport during my five hour stop-over in Bogota. An eight hour delay in Guaquil, Ecuador however handily took care of that along with my connection to Caracas. Of course it was another eight hour wait for the next flight.
The good news is I have finally arrived, bags and all, in Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela for the upcoming World Record Freediving attempts by native Carlos Coste and Stig Severinsen of Denmark. Carlos is going for the Variable weight record (riding a sled to depth and kicking back up) of 120 meters and Stig, the pending Static Apnea record (breathhold at the surface) of 8:46. It should be a fun week.
After exploring the pacific coast of Ecuador for the past week its also just good to be in familiar territory amongst friends. Stay tuned for more fun.
