This is kind of emotional as it´s probably the last off exploring we will write whilst actually off exploring, when we rap this baby up we will be back in london or sheffield and of course we would keep it going as an actual blog but i can talk faster than i type and in person you get the actions as well so it just isn´t worth it. anyway there we were in Merida enjoying a nice hotel and a swim and even a spa bath on the roof terrace, doing some readin...
