The last two weeks have been pretty lazy, I've just been watching a bit of TV, playing with Lucia the 2 year old (crazy girl! haha) and waiting for the swimming pool to be ready. There have been builders doing an extension for most of the time I've been here and all the brick dust and everything was going in the pool so it couldn't be used. They have finished now and the pool has been cleaned, so today I FINALLY went swimming for the first time!! It is still ridi...

SOOOO after leaving my last blog on such a cliff hanger, I have finally worked out my travel plans! I have decided not to go to South America this year as I don't really have enough money to do everything I'd like to. I'll save up and go there another year, perhaps with some of my best friends.

That week, my third at the school, was a long one. The sun was absolutely scorching and I wasn't finding the...

I was SO annoyed! So here goes take two... I'm starting to enjoy Honduras now.

It is better now that I have me...

Ok so the Thursday of Semana Santa was stupidly busy so I just went to Rainbow Cafe (my favourite in Antigua) for the afternoon, ate some lunch there and wrote a few letters. On Friday, it was the busiest I've ever seen Antigua. It was absolutely heaving, the processions started at 4am and didn't end until 1am on Saturday morning! You could barely walk down the streets for all the people who were there to see the processions. I guess it was interesting and I don'...
