Yeah. so this dude, an immigrant, is a Trumper. And before you Magats look at my name and think huurrrr duurrr, you're an immigrant yourself: I don't even live in the US.
Yet here we have an immigrant who hates his fellow immigrants and just loooooooves ICE, go figure.
And just anyone was wondering: this dude has a whale of a wife with tons (no pun intended) medical issues. I know right, what a genius idea to move her to a country where health insurance is ridiculously cheap, lol.
And I don't even live in the UK but I do know their healthcare is almost always free but keep on paying those health care CEOs like a good boy, Noel.
I'm pretty sure they're starving.

This was super interesting and super entertaining! Thanks for posting it! Guyana is in the midst of a petroleum boom and I had heard about how much Georgetown had developed in the last several years. But it is awesome to be able to catch a glimpse of this growth on video! I was last at Ogle Airport in 2011 while ferrying an airplane (a Pitts Special S1C) from the USA to Brazil. Ogle Airport has grown so much that I can't even recognize it anymore. It is so nice to get news from a place you've last seen several years ago and find out the area has developed and improved so much! Tip of the hat to the Guyana people for so much welcome growth! Kind regards from Brasilia, Brazil.

I suspect if you turned the cold running waters electrical heater on you may have warmer cold running water Just a thought, there seems to be a wire going into the thing. A lot of countries are more efficient than us slow learners in the west. They've realized you can halve the amount of plumbing in a house by heating water at the point of use, there by also saving energy. Quite genius actually, but we still build houses with double the pipe work and wasted energy.

It's comforting to know that there is some rain forest still left, when you read or hear about its destruction. Not that I am trying to minimise that worrying fact, but it was great that you could go and swim in that beautiful water. Glad the anacondas were somewhere else! As for crossing borders without passport checks, it's supposed to happen all the time in Schengen, but it doesn't always now, of course.

Noel, long time watcher, first time commenter. This is one of my favorite of your videossomewhere remote, weird flight, you show us the destination, and engage with the local culture. I suppose I'm slightly more of a travel fan than an avgeek, but I'm so glad to see you showing us more of these amazing places, along with the crazy flights. Thanks for taking the time to show us!

Hi Noel. Great episode. I’m finding your trips to more remote places like this and Alaska, where you spend a night and meet random but friendly people, really engaging. You might even call this type of content Far Out with New Friends’. Better than Staying in a dump with Friends, ’ which was my other idea! Anyways keep it up, the content is great!

Hi Noel. This was interesting! When I was a kid we made the road trip from Boa Vista (Brasil) to Lethem, probably in 2008 and i have photos of the bridge being built.
No flyover in those days. Mud roads and a simple car ferry.
I remember the Landys still ruling in the outskirts of Lethem and the many wooden bridges.
Have a good one.

I remember the first time I used an electric water heating showerhead like that one. It was not nearly as nice with the cables hanging more or less lose, and making a very loud electric buzz when turned on. It was quite scary stepping into a stream of electrified water. But it does work quite well, once fear has been overcome.

Great to see you in Guyana, Noel. I flew that route several times in the early nineties, looks like Lethem has developed a bit, and the road crossing and bridge to Brazil definitely weren't there. I seem to remember that the runway wasn't paved either. Glad you enjoyed the interior of Guyana too - it's amazing.

I have been to Georgetown, twice. Not much to do, so I stayed on the ship and enjoyed the work.
Did I mention that my friend and I were robbed at knifepoint in the middle of the day, some old rusty okapi knife and two thugs on a 50cc motorbike pulled up an took our cash and phones, be careful out there

It's interesting that the coca cola can was in Portuguese and there were signs in Portuguese in the check-in area. It shows that there's a fair amount of Brazilians going through the capital and it's, logistically, easier to bring Coca-Cola from Brazil than Guyana's capital.

As a kid, I’d used to watch a travel show on the TV and your content reminds me of the jou I’d get from watching that show. However, this time it’s heavily focused on aviation, making it so much better.
Love your content, Noel. I look forward to your upload every week!

In 1955 when I was seven years old my parents took me to England, and I remember my dad almost getting in a wreck because he forgot we had to drive on the left side of the road. Guyana and Brazil seem to have come up with a genius solution to this problem.

Love your messaging around mental health, Noel. It resonates with me and many others - I’m sure of it. Your vids helped me start flying and travelling solo. I realised quickly: no one cares that much about me as much as I think they do!

9: 22 there are parasitic worms in the water that you can hardly see that wait to insert themselves into your orifices. You should have been warned not to put your head underwater as they can enter your brain from the ears and nose!

That's the plane you got to Lethem Dude, there is the Beechcraft, Beautiful aircraft.
And those small planes fly by the dozen all over into actual forest and remote sites. where the runway is gravel. Oh come on Noel!

You should go to New Zealand and then go to Tauranga then you should go fly with Island Air it is so cool they go to a small remote place just off the coast of Tauranga with about 100 or so people it’s a sick little town
reply

Thank you for visiting our small city, Lethem, and thank you for getting someone to bring you to the falls. It's a beautiful area but a knowledgeable driver is needed. So happy you could enjoy the villages and waterfalls.
reply

There are more that one aircraft service that flies from Ohle to Lethem.
You can also travel from Georgetown to Lethem via car, minibus etc.
You guys need to do a proper research before spreading false news.

reply

You are wrong on it being the only domestic flight - there are loads of destinations that are served in the interior on scheduled flights. but glad you enjoyed Guyana. It is a special place and beautiful landscapes
