Future plans

So, as soon as christmas is over it's going to be time to pack my bags and start travelling properly. Antigua has been a great place, but now it's time to move on.

Current plan is to catch a but on the 26th to Rio Dulce and then from there try and find a boat to Utila, which is one of the Bay Islands off Honduros. I'll spend a few weeks there learning to dive and think about what to do next.

Will post a map wheb I have a better connection.

Buena Vista Social Club



According to people who know about these things (in the photo below) the above pictures contains some of the original members of Buena Vista Social Club. The music sounds familiar, so I guess it must be true.

Playing Santa - 20 Dec



Someone at our school arranged a collection a while back to by some presents for the children of a small impoverished village up in the mountains. Today we had a school trip out to the village to distribute presents and be generally nice to people.



There were so many children. God only knows where they all came from. They all lined up outside the village hall and then came in small groups to play some party games and get a present. It was all quite moving. Brought a tear to my eye.



Of course as always, it´s not the present, but the box that is the most fun thing.



All in all, a fun time was had by all.
