Venezuela

Here I am still feeling sick, but it is time to visit another country this week we are going to Venezuela which is a country on the northern coast of South America with diverse natural attractions.

Venezuela, officially the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, it consists of a continental landmass and many islands and islets in the Caribbean Sea.

It comprises an area of 916,445 km2 (353,841 sq mi), and its population was estimated at 29 million in 2022. The capital is Caracas. The official language is Spanish

Along its Caribbean coast are tropical resort islands including Isla de Margarita and the Los Roques archipelago. To the northwest are the Andes Mountains and the colonial town of Mérida, a base for visiting Sierra Nevada National Park.

The current eight-star flag of Venezuela was introduced in 2006. The basic design includes a horizontal tricolour of yellow, blue, and red, the National Coat of Arms on the upper hoist-side of the yellow band and an arc of eight white five-pointed stars centered on the blue band. It dates back to the original flag introduced in 1811, in the Venezuelan War of Independence.

The official currency is the bolivar, named after the hero of South American independence Simón Bolívar, it was introduced following the monetary reform in 1879, before which the venezolano was circulating. 

t is home to the world’s highest waterfall, Angel Falls and the second longest river in South America, the Orinoco. It also has the longest coastline to the Caribbean Sea. It is also the world’s fifth-largest oil exporter and also has vast untapped reserves of natural gas.

Week 35 of 2024

Another food night, slept straight through till the alarm went off at 5am.

It is a nice morning the temp is 17 degrees. However, it is raining and looks like it will all morning.

Tim and I went to Kmart, and I bought a new steam mop, Tim has been in a right mood and was getting on my nerves. He tells me he is in pain so I can understand him being in a mood.

Tim has admitted he doesn’t feel well today, I thought as much just by looking at him.

Another decent night, I did get up at midnight and used the powerfit as I was feeling a bit restless. I went back to bed and the next thing I knew was the alarm was going off.

I had a shower first thing this morning and when I came out to the lounge-room Tim had turned the heater on, I nothing but I did turn it off.

Not the best nights, I slept mostly through the night but with waking every so often then going back to sleep so it was a night of broken sleep.

I was feeling so tired I closed my eyes for 50 minutes, opening them when Sam walked in.

The temp is 12 degrees and my BGL was 5.1. By 10am it was 23 degrees and my BGL was 4.6.

By midday it was 29 degrees, the wind was so hot I had to shut the house up.

Had a cheese pie for lunch and with only a couple of bites to go a small bit got stuck in my throat, as a lot of coughing and retching I managed to dislodge it.

It is 11.20pm and I have been asleep 2.5hrs but now my body is moving too much to sleep, so I got up for a bit.

Steps: 6,555

Not the best nights, I was up between 11.20pm and 1am, I slept from 1am till the alarm went off.

I am so bloody tired after Sam goes to school I will close my eyes for a while.

I ended up going back to bed for an hour.

It did warm up, got to 25 degrees and for the second day I changed into shorts.

Not the best night, I went to bed at nine but felt more awake then tired and this caused me to toss and turn so I got up for an hour or so, then back to bed and straight off to sleep till the alarm went at 5am.
