Mall Visit. Another rather uneventful day today. With no lesson planned we decided that today would be a good time to go look round a large mall which the hostel owners had told us about. It was a short walk but once again the sun was scorching so we were forced to keep to the shade the entire way. We arrived to find a rather pretty mall, built in a modern style and full of fountains. This made it quite a nice place to look round so we spent the next hour or...

2nd Lesson After not getting to bed till late last night we weren't up until after 10 to find it was another scorching hot day. We breakfasted on fried egg sandwiches and then really didnt do a thing until about 2pm when it was time to leave for our next Cali Salsa lesson.

We crossed a bridge over a main road and found ourselves walking through a rather pretty park next to the river. After cro...

First Cali style lesson. After going out to buy some French bread at a bakery behind the hostel we sat down to break fast of bread, jam, pineapple and a blackberry smoothie, feeling quite full (and healthy for a change!!) we decided to get some some blogs up to date before our first lesson in cali style. We had been informed that it 'not possible' to walk to where our lesson would be, we're not sure if this is because it's dangerous or they think it's too far,...
