    greetings from a Guyanese, I must say you are brave to go in to Venezuela, as you are on the border town you can get food but as you go in to Venezuela you will find it hard to get food unless you pay a lot,plus the country is dangerous.

    that region is part of Guyana for 200 years and a mad man is disputing it because of jeliously, about Guyana progress., and hostile forces took up the argument all left wing forces in latin america who want to stop the progress of Guyana, nothing to do with oil or a former coloniel power : cheating : them. wish you well on your trip.

    Man, I am sorry to see you could not make it to the roraima and gran sabana deeps. I am pretty sure you will try again. Unfortunately, there is a prohibition for currency 3xchanges companies to operate since the government as a partial control of the foreign currency exchange. Now everybody uses dollars there, that is the reality. You just needed contacts and people who is not afraid to help. There is a big change there from what it was prior to 2014. But definitely getting all the resources is an amazing trip. Paraytepuy looks isolated I always thought how we don't explore tourism in the area, at least ecologic way. Because commercial way it will destroy the experience.

    That Guyana road is really only viable with a 4x4, lorry or fly there, that's tough going on a push bike, guess it more the journey than the destination, there is not much in Lethem, a one horse town with a runway and few shops and businesses, on the other side from Lethem is Brazil that is paved roads and will be more enjoyable with mountain views and savanna. Boa Vista is quite a big town in Brazil and more like a US Midwest town and its a few 100 Km from Lethem, few speak English there, as is the case in most of Brazil. Good luck with the rest of the trip.
