Orinoco flow After a long trek back from the Gran Sabanna we stopped off at a ramshackle camp to take a tour of part of the Orinoco delta.  The Orinoco is the 8th largest river in the world, and the delta is inhabited by the Warao Indians who live on simple wooden and thatch structures at the waters’ edge.  They live a simple subsistence life, nicking electricity for their satellite TVs (their one luxury, often shared) from the local mains wire.  Our trip on the delta was interesting for the wildlife and the Indians, but a day does not do it justice and I’d like to spend more time here.
