From Angel Falls we decided to skip the Orinico Delta because it was too similar to what we had done in the Amazon in Brazil. Instead we decided to head up to an Island in the Carribean sea to relax for a bit. We had to get a 4-5 hour ferry across to the Island from the mainland of Venezuela. Firstly we headed to Porlamar, the capital of the island. The island is duty free so there were just shops there and one small beach. After 2 nights we moved to the real Isla de Margarita and went to Playa el yaque (El Yaque beach) to improve our tans. This is one of the best destinations in the world for windsurfing and some tournaments are held there each year. We stayed there for a week in a little apartment complex owned by an American a couple of minutes away from the beach. The apartment had satalite tv, kitchen and air con so it was like being on an actual holiday rather than just backpacking which was nice.
