Caracas, Venezuela : Rich in Culture and Contrast
Caracas was once a Spanish settlement and became wealthy historically for raising cacao or chocolate. By the 20th century, it became an economic center for its oil resource. And yet this city, the largest in Venezuela, is marked for its contrasts as well.
It was an official trip for me to Hamburg from Bangalore, India but I had already on my agenda a short personal backpack tour to Paris and Vienna besides sightseeing in Hamburg of course.
After a short stop-over at Frankfurt, I finally arrived in Hamburg early morning around 10 am. Hamburg, city of lakes which has the 2nd largest number of population in Germany after Berlin bore a deserted look and I was told that it is because it was a Sunday, the rest day.
