All is right with the world as you head towards the name, even though you brush the occasional sprawled limb as you return to your seat. The Venezuelan budget traveller misses little by travelling at night, and saves on a night's accommodation. On either side of the road are trees and long grasses, the only variant being their occasional retreat from the roadside, and the chance to view the distant rolling green. There are no quaint villages where whole families appear at the window of a hut, or groups of children approach the bus with food and drink for sale. Transport is from bus station to bus station, with the occasional service station to break up the journey.
Buses compete with each other on the inclines, and race off down the other side.
Maybe a blue sky delights the passengers, but gathering clouds on distant peaks can soon lead to scorn as windows are shut and the rains arrive. You can not attempt to name them, but the towering green seems perpetual. Even the Spaniards ignored much of the interior, after their attempts to pan for gold proved futile, and pushed on towards the rumour of wealth in neighbouring lands.
