¡Saludos mis queridos hivers!, en mi post anterior les mencioné de una increíble travesía, que hoy vengo a contarles con todo cariño, se trata de mi último viaje del 2020. ¡prepárense para la aventura!
En el mes de enero, se me metió entre ceja y ceja querer ver a mi hija, porque tenía varios años sin verla personalmente, aunque la tecnología ayuda no es lo mismo. también quería compartir con una gran amiga y colega que vive en el mismo país.
A raíz de la situación de Venezuela, no podía salir desde el aeropuerto de Caracas, y además no tenía visa para viajar a mi destino. Por lo que decidí viajar a Colombia para tramitar un pasaporte y emprender mi viaje. Todo funcionó perfectamente.
Greetings my dear Hivers, in my previous post I mentioned an incredible journey, which today I come to tell you with all my love, get ready for the adventure! In the month of January 2020, I got between my eyebrows wanting to see my daughter, because I had several years without seeing her personally, although technology helps is not the same. I also wanted to share with a great friend and colleague who lives in the same country.
Due to the situation in Venezuela, I could not leave from the airport in Caracas, and I also did not have a visa to travel to my destination. So I decided to travel to Colombia to get a passport and start my journey. Everything worked out perfectly.

Todo iba de mil maravillas, tenía planificado mi regreso, para el 14 de marzo 2020, la estaba pasando espectacular! Pueden ver mi felicidad en las fotos. Hasta que un día chateando con mis vecinas, me comentaron que Lucky se la pasaba llorando, (Lucky es mi perrita que les presenté en un post anterior), la dejé al cuidado de mi hermana, esto me entristeció mucho, y mi hija tuvo que comprarme un pasaje anticipado.
Everything was going wonderfully, I had planned my return, for March 14, 2020, I was having a spectacular time! You can see my happiness in the photos. Until one day, when I was chatting with my neighbors and they told me that Lucky was crying all the time (Lucky is my little dog that I introduced in a previous post), I left her in my sister's care. This made me very sad, and my daughter had to buy me an early ticket.

Consiguió un vuelo hasta Bogotá (Colombia), el día martes 25 de febrero 2020, así que a las 2:00 pm emprendí mi viaje, iba feliz de haber compartido con mi hija y mi gran amiga, pero a la vez preocupada por Lucky, pensando lo peor, ya que mi hermana una vez se fue de viaje por 2 meses y su gatica se murió de tristeza por la ausencia de su dueña, bueno eso imagino yo.
She got a flight to Bogota (Colombia), on Tuesday February 25, 2020, so at 2:00 pm I started my trip, I was happy to have shared with my daughter and my great friend, but at the same time worried about Lucky, thinking the worst, since my sister once went on a trip for 2 months and her cat died of sadness for the absence of her owner, well that I imagine.

Pensaba regresar de Bogotá a Cúcuta en Avión, pero fue imposible conseguir pasaje, por lo que decidí viajar por tierra. Ese mismo día martes salí a las 5:00 pm, con destino a Cúcuta (Colombia), son aproximadamente 17 horas de camino, ¡imaginen eso! Después de 11 horas de recorrido llegamos a un sitio denominado Piedecuesta aproximadamente a las 6:00 am, me encuentro con la sorpresa que se habían desbordado dos ríos y unas quebradas por las lluvias inclementes, de la noche anterior y la madrugada del miércoles. Hablaban de desaparecidos, muertos y carros atascados. ¡Todo era un desastre! No había forma de avanzar.
I was planning to return from Bogotá to Cúcuta by plane, but it was impossible to get a ticket, so I decided to travel by land. That same day, Tuesday, I left at 5:00 pm, bound for Cúcuta (Colombia), it is approximately 17 hours away, imagine that! After 11 hours of travel we arrived at a place called Piedecuesta at approximately 6:00 am, I was surprised to find that two rivers and some creeks had overflowed due to the inclement rains of the previous night and early Wednesday morning. They were talking about missing people, dead people and stuck cars. Everything was a disaster! There was no way forward.

La vía estaba completamente cerrada. Estuvimos allí como 5 horas esperando el despeje para continuar el viaje, sin desayuno, porque era una zona muy alejada, no había restaurantes y tuvimos que pedirle el favor a personas que viven en el área que nos vendieran algo de comida. Ya yo estaba entrando en desesperación.
The track was completely closed. We were there for about 5 hours waiting for the clearing to continue the trip, without breakfast, because it was a very remote area, there were no restaurants and we had to ask people who live in the area to sell us some food. I was already getting desperate.

El conductor del autobús nos dice que se había caído un puente y que la única forma de salir de allí, era regresándonos otra vez por la misma vía hasta llegar casi al punto de partida, para buscar otra vía que nos llevara a nuestro destino. ¿o sea voy de regreso a Bogotá? ¡Ay no, que locura!
The bus driver tells us that a bridge had fallen down and that the only way to get out of there, was to return us again by the same route until we almost reached the starting point, to look for another route that would take us to our destination. So I'm going back to Bogota? Oh no, that's crazy!

Para hacer el cuento corto, la travesía que duraría toda la noche, y un poco más, se convirtió en 3 días de travesía ¡3 DIAS!, llegué AGOTADA con los pies súper hinchados a Cúcuta, para descansar un día y seguir mi camino a Caracas. ¡Además de ser el más largo, fue el viaje más estresante de mi vida! Pero allí iba nuevamente de regreso optimista, tomando fotos y disfrutando del paisaje. Mi madre dice que al mal tiempo, buena cara ☺
To make a long story short, the journey that would last all night, and a little longer, turned into a 3-day journey. 3 DAYS! I arrived in Cúcuta EXHAUSTED with my feet super swollen, to rest one day and continue my journey to Caracas. Besides being the longest, it was the most stressful trip of my life! But there I was again on my way back, optimistic, taking pictures and enjoying the scenery. My mother says that in bad weather, good face ☺

Al fin gracias a DIOS llegue el día 01 de marzo a mi casita, en fin, fueron 5 días viajando para reencontrarme con este bello ser, que ha tocado lo más profundo de mi alma, y me ha brindado el amor mas tierno, y puro. ¡Y yo a ella, por supuesto! ¡Estábamos las dos súper felices!
Finally, thanks to GOD, I arrived on March 1st at my little house, in short, it was 5 days traveling to meet again with this beautiful being, who has touched the deepest part of my soul, and has given me the most tender and pure love. And I to her, of course! We were both super happy!

Lo más curioso de todo esto es que, a la semana siguiente aquí en América empezó todo el confinamiento por el COVID-19, y cerraron fronteras. ¡Si no hubiera regresado antes del tiempo estipulado, hasta el día de hoy no hubiera podido regresar a casa! A veces no entendemos las decisiones en un primer momento, pero de no haberlo hecho así, no estaría acompañando a mi linda y fiel compañera, y me hubiese quedado atrapada en otro país.
¿A ustedes les ha pasado algún episodio estresante o divertido en algún viaje?
The most curious thing about all this is that, the following week here in America, the whole confinement by the COVID-19 began, and they closed borders. If I hadn't returned before the stipulated time, I wouldn't have been able to go home until today! Sometimes we don't understand the decisions at first, but if I hadn't, I wouldn't be accompanying my beautiful and faithful companion, and I would have been stuck in another country. Have you ever had a stressful or funny episode on a trip?

Thank you for reading me, your votes and comments are very important to me. See you next time!
That was an amazing adventure you had on your trip. But as you say, if you had not gone then, you would not have been able to to later. And the floodng. I'm familiar with that, as I'm in the U.S., and it floods like crazy here on the Texas Gulf Coast.
So happy to hear your trip turned out alright, even if it took 3 days. Nice to meet you and engage with you. Hope to talk to you again soon. Take care, and stay safe.
Thank you for your comment, this is @justclickindiva how floods are frequent due to global warming. A hug.
Yes, it is @evelynda. The science tell us. This Hurricane Season as been extremely active, utilizing all the alphabet letters, and slipping into the Greek. Two hurricanes entered the Gulf of Mexico at the same time. It's unnerving. You can see what's happening all around us.
So nice to engage with you again, and thank you for deciding to Follow my journey on Hive. I appreciate it. Take care, have a good rest of your week, and stay safe.
