Its coming to the end of my trip and i´m back where it all started more than 6 months ao, Playa Del Carmen I had a disasterous arrival with delayed transport and missing reservations which left me hauling my bag around the city late at night trying to find a room for the night. But all ended well and i´ve ended up somwehere nice for the few nights i´m here. I´m about to head out in search of some yummy tacos. Of all the places i´ve travelled through mexican...

I finally made it out of Utila and travelled in style on a gorgeous catamaran. The trip took a little under 5 hours and the entire journey was spent lazing in the sun relaxing.

As part of my internship I'm shadowing one of the more experienced instructors at UDC and seeing how he deals with all the logistics of running a course. It's turned out to be a great one to learn from, we've got 6 students, 3 of which are very nervous so it's taking a lot of time, patience and flexibility to get through all the performance objectives...... Tomorrow we take them out on the boat for the fi...
