Thank God tomorrow is my last day of Spanish School! I’m so fed up with it. I know I’ve got another week in Honduras, but I’m just hoping I’ll have someone who can speak more English. Today was pretty rubbish for the most part, but got better by the late […]
Guatemala
Downside of not going to sleep til ‘late’ is being tired in the morning. Learnt lots and lots of verbs today. I know how to say almost anything in the present tense. Difficult to put into conversation though since most people want to know what you have done or what […]
Verbos!
Volcan Fuego and Volcan Acatenango, Antigua, Guatemala
Whilst lying awake at 5am (still falling asleep too early hence the ridiculous hour) and going through my Spanish, it dawned on me that all of yesterday, I was learning ‘ser’ (to be) and all the questions I was answering were ‘I am’, ‘you are’, ‘he is’, etc. I can […]
Bored
Puppies being born meant people in the house being up late, which meant I didn’t sleep well. Woke up cuz I could hear voices and thought I was late for breakfast. It was 2.30am. I couldn’t get to sleep for ages, then woke up at 7am, entangled in my bedsheets. […]
Escuela Espanol
Still waking up early. :-(. Finished The Da Vinci Code while still in bed. Met Dom, Doreen and the other volunteers at the coffee shop (which seems to be the meeting point for everything!). A few of us went for brunch in a cafe on the other side of town. […]
Rotary of Guatemala
It was my last day in the luxury of the hotel today, so I made the most of the hot shower and chilling out. Dom and Doreen came to get me at 10am and took me to my homestay, where I’ll be until next Sunday. It’s with the same family […]

Hurricanes and Landslides
I woke up around 8am, and took my time getting ready since I haven’t got anything to do today. Showered – hurray! Got a really nice breakfast, which I ate outside in the hotel garden. I was sat in the sun for all of 15mins and got sunburn! But cuz […]
Free Day in Antigua
Woke up at 5.30am, left at 6.30am and got to Heathrow around 7am. On the way into the car park I wasn’t paying much attention to the radio, but caught the bit about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes going to have a baby. I turned to look at Mum, and […]
