So on Thursday, for the second time in my life, I spent a ridiculously long (4hours!!), bumpy bus journey sitting on a plastic stool in the central isle of a bus. Yes, that has happened to me twice…the first time being in Albania!! Needless to say it was not the most comfortable start to the holidays. :D YES, the holidays have finally begun!! I am currently in Copan, the only Mayan site in Honduras, because it is (of course) the end of the world…and where ...

We left T...

So the football turned out to be an interesting experience. We woke up fairly early and donned our football shirts and waterproofs, yes the first time since we got here that it has rained in the morning and it picked the day of the football. Anyway, I got to wear my purple flowery waterproof for the first time ever. Luckily we were some of the first to get on the minibus which quickly reached double its capacity, one guy came prepared with a bottle of tequila a...
