Crossing the pond (II)
One of the things that I learnt whilst travelling around Venezuela is the extent to which you get sick of taking planes to go from one side to another. Firstly, I had already endured 9 hours of flying to get to Caracas, including a two hour layover in Lisbon. At that...

The British Museum
