So I didn't manage to do another update before Christmas or before the New Year's Eve celebrations, and now is the only time since arriving back in Bogota that I've had to try and sit and write. This is also possibly my last blog, but most likely I will do one when I get back to England to close off. So what else did we do in the coast? Well throughout the 3 weeks, I taught the Piano and focused on chords, as they are the easiest thing to teach in such a sho...

So in the past two weeks not a lot has happened, but thought I would just write a quick update so that the next time I write it's not a complete essay, which is could easily turn out to be! Going back a week now, we had planned a Santa Marta group bonding day with a trip to one of the theme parks in Bogota called Mundo Aventura.

Nightmare especially at 4am! Anyway both of us managed to get back to sleep once we arrived at the house, which was very much needed. So the first week of dad being here we pretty...

Wow, wow, wow so much has happened since I last wrote! I'm not going to write it all, as the blog would be even longer than the others (yes it is possible)! I'm going to write about the things that I feel have been the most exciting and fun. Since my last blog post I've caught up with other friends for lunch and frozen yoghurt (always a winner), been away to new places and had a random chat with a man on a bus who was selling his handmade products.
