Hi Exploreman, I have been looking at Explores Seatrek in Venezuela.
I love boating holidays, don't know about the camping though.
When we camped on banks of the Ganges, 4 of us "mutinied" and went back to a hotel in Varranassi instead of spending our 2nd. night under canvas! The mozzies, wild dogs and gnats put me off, I was really pleased when morning came. I really enjoyed boating on Ganges though, so peaceful compared to the Cities.
Yours Aye, jopa

hi Jopa,Really tempted by a trip to Mexico next Xmas with Explore, it involves time in Mexico City and is really atrip through Mexico, finishing up in Guatemala city, so that would be two more Capitals under my belt!
Very tempting!

Hi Explorerman, Mexico and Guatemala sound interesting...My friends have just returned from Explore's cycling trip in Cuba...they loved it.
I was in Italy last week visiting my friend whom I met on an Explore trip in 2000...what a welcome we got! Spent three nights in Milan and two nights in Turin. Also visited Bergamo, it has a lovely Old Town accessed from a Funicular Railway.
Back to work tomorrow will be counting the days to end of May when we are off to Poland
Take Care, Happy Travels,
Yours Aye,
Jopa.
