Hi all, Well we're already a week into our project and this is the first opportunity to get in contact with anyone. Its going so well. Last week we arrived in Nadi after a very very long time on the plane and were met by the local guiding commissioner and also their international co-ordinator which presented us with these amazing flower garlends. We spent some time getting over jet lag and then travelled to a place called pacific harbour. From then on we have been to five schools and have just finished a leaders weekend training. The school visits have been [View Full Entry]

Second Fijian entry, A lot has happen since I last wrote in this blog. Last week we visited five different schools around the capital of Suva. It was good fun and although not nearly as hard work as the camp still very tiring. We got to see a great range of schools from very small rural areas to large primary schools with much better facilities. On Thursday we went to the airport to catch a plane to the southern most island of Kadavu. This island was amazing. Boat is used as the main transport as there are few roads. The water [View Full Entry]

As you can probably tell from the title I have come to the end of my trip and this is my final entry. For the past two weeks I have been on a tour travelling round Peru and I haven't had any time to write a blog about it, and alot has happened. I caught a flight to Lima which went smoothly and I stayed in Lima for a couple of day before the tour began. The group had 14 females and only one male, but he didn't seem to mind!! Again it was a really good group and was very [View Full Entry]

Unfortunately I have now left the Glapagos and am in, not so sunny, Quito. I had a fantastic time in the islands and just wish I could have stayed longer. I have done soooooooooooo much since I last wrote a blog and I am sure I will forget to write many things. I ended up doing three days diving as I was very egar to see some hammer head sharks. I had an excellent couple of days and saw many white tipped reef sharks, turtles, rays and loads of tropical fish, but no hammerheads!! At the end of the dive day [View Full Entry]

I knew I was going to enjoy it as I had only been diving in England when the waters been like 7 degrees and the visability pretty terrible.

Anyway, We did [View Full Entry]

I made it to the Galapagos Islands athlough not without a couple of hic-ups!!! Well basically I was going to be given all my flight info by a guy who works for the company that I'm taking a tour with next week. We phoned my hotel as planned but I wasn't there yet so he left his number so I could phone him back. Well I tried sooooooooo many times to phone him back that evening but it just wouldn't work and I still don't know why. I tried to phone the companies main office but that wouldn't work either. Anyway, [View Full Entry]

I had a pretty cool weekend! I caught a bus after school on Friday and headed to a place called Baños. Its a lot more touristy than Tena is and took about four hours to get there. Its surronded by mountains and a volcano and is very pretty. Baños means baths in spanish and its famous for their natural baths and there are about three altogether in the town. After not having a hot shower for a month, I obviously went straight for the hot pool!! Its amazing how hot the water gets just through the earths/volcanos heat. When I arrived [View Full Entry]
