Caracas the capital of Venezuela and recently voted the 3rd most dangerous city in the world purchased 450 Leyland nationals in the late 1970s for the state owned capital operation. Not too far away Trinidad also took a large number including the later mk2. In September 1998 without too much information about them, long before the internet became a useful source of research I set off to try and find a few. The buses had been dogged by political issues before many turned a wheel, some never did.
This was basically a private operator who had managed to acquire one from the clutches of the Government and was operating on a city route within the capital photographed on 01st September 1998. There were others including, the suburban metro train system, which had some re-engined with DAF units and used on feeder routes to the outer stations from densely populated housing areas. This example pictured retained its Leyland engine though. I recall after taking this photograph, running over and jumping on board. After waving a couple of Bolivars at the driver, off we set through the city, then onto a fast dual carriage way before touring the outer suburbs of the city. No idea where I was actually going around 3 hours later I ended up back at the same spot I had boarded. Mission accomplished !! On leaving the vehicle I shouted " Gracias " to the driver.....the reply came back " Ese tío está loco " which to be fair...is probably right.

Canaima, il Salto Sapo è un'imponente e bellissima cascata, ma la cosa incredibile è che la si può percorrere sotto per tutta la sua lunghezza: un'esperienza entusiasmante!

My not-yet-wife Sammy spent six months visiting family friends in Venezuela in 1957-58, and this was a shot she took with my Kodak Retina II-a during a tour through the country. The youngster is a member of the family she was traveling with. They stayed the night here in a hotel called The Ritz, and Sammy's most vivid memory of the Ritz is mosquitoes, mosquitoes, mosquitoes! And DDT...

En Venezuela el culto a la belleza, es increíble.
No solo las que van al concurso, "Miss Venezuela",
se mantienen bellas.
Todas las mujeres en mi país, quieren ser candidatas al concurso, no importa la edad,
( Yo también) ;-)).
Cualquier niña de 15 años, ya no pide fiesta,
tours a Europa, nooo,
Piden, prótesis de "silicona" ;-((.
La mía, no es menos ;-((, tiene tres años diciendo,
"mami, nadie me va a querer por tu culpa, snifffff",
pero, tiene en este momento tres "amigos" locos por ella.
Hummmmmm, si le pongo siliconas, no duermo mas ;-)).
Este no es el estilo de fotos que yo decidí para flickr, pero, tengo que hacer un reconocimiento a la linda joven Venezolana que gano el "Miss Universo".
A pesar de no creer en las prótesis de silicona ;-))
Lo siento:

Just trying to ilustrate and express the situation we are currently living in Venezuela.
In Venezuela it seems that in every corner there is a armed shadow waiting to strike.

Last moments in Venezuela.
The view from the mountain top.
I purposely bumped the noise reduction all the way up for this photo because I thought it gave it an interesting look, might not be what most people like but you never know unless you experiment. =)
Best viewed large and in charge =)
