Luckily the bus didn't leave until 9.30am from Waitomo so I got a bit of a lie in which was nice as we went out and had a bit of a late night! We travelled down to Taupo which took a couple of hours, and went on a quick walk to a waterfall called Huka Falls. It was absolutely beautiful, extremely blue and very very strong! Apparently 200,000 litres of water falls every second, and every 3 seconds falls enough water to fill an olympic swimming pool! It was stunnin...

It was a pretty rubbish day and we couldn't really see anything so we couldn't make hot pools in the sand on hot water beach and we pretty much just went over to our hostel and had a bit of a dvd day.

It is a very active volcano in Guatemala, which some of you who follow my blogs may remember I climbed when I was ...

I was just thinking the other day, that it's really funny living in a house which has air conditioning in every room, but doesn't have any radiators! Total opposite to England! Haha. So as I am coming to the end of my time in Honduras, and think over my time here, it has been pretty cool all in all! I have had a great time here in San Pedro Sula with the Flores family, they have been so kind! Esperanza, the lady who works in their house, asked me what the name o...
