We tore ourselves away from our familia and Rosalia's delicious meals to see Antigua on our way to Honduras. This city is supposed to be one of Guatemala's highlights. It's beautiful with bright buildings, jade museums, and a thousand hip, hip, hip shops, restaurants and bars. It's as cosmopolitan as Central America gets. However, it´s also packed with tourists and high prices. And not even the "Irish pub" has more than the usual Gallo beer. The Gallo people seriously monopolize the beer supply and the few canned Guinnesses are pricey since they're shipped from Panama. We did stumble upon [View Full Entry]

Well, where do we start.??. After a later night than anticipated we met at 5.40 am at The hotel reception, well all of us except two, who of course will remain unnamed!!!….feel free to guess who the two culprits were!! We jumped on a bus which was provided by the hotel at a wonderful price of £3 and that drove us to Gatwick airport South terminal. We were greeted by cheery faces from Virgin Atlantic who guided us to our check in desk. We proceeded to pick up our boarding passes and then moved away to head to Yates’ bar and [View Full Entry]

After an hours delay we finally boarded the Island Hopper from Antigua to St Kitts. It was a small 40 seater with propellers where you could sit anywhere. Adam, Drylie and Ravi who went to the very back row managed to wangle 2 cans of Red Stripe Beer each from The Air Stewardess on a supposed dry flight!! They were happy and the others tried to sleep on the short 20 minute journey to St Kitts. Once we arrived in St Kitts we soon realised that cases were missing!! Due to so many people heading over for the cricket everyone seems [View Full Entry]

So, we've all packed and we're saying good-bye to the house, the beach, the island, the country. Saying good-bye to the crystal blue water, warm plesant nights, fast-speaking natives, and driving on the left side of the road. A week has gone by and we've spent our money on jet-ski's, three times, drinks, ice cream, zip line tours, snorkling, and of course...jewlery. We've all been tan and a little burnt. But we're all going home with a little more color than we came with, some more patience, we're more relzxed, and ahundred more memories. We're ready to go back to our [View Full Entry]

So for the last two days we've done nothing but sit at the beach for two days and tan and rent wave runners and eat. Tonight me and lauren went to the store. I bought ice cream and smirnoff. yes, I bought alcohol and I sat and drank at the bar and gambled. It was the coolest experience ever. I guess it kinda ruined my 21 birthday though. haha [View Full Entry]

Today mom woke us up at like 8:30 so that we could say when everyone was in school in first period we were swimming in the ocean (There's a one hour time difference so it was 7:30 back home) The water was kinda cold...75 degrees maybe ) We came back to the room and had pancakes and watched a movie while our food digested. We jumped in the Yaris and roamed around the island. The original plan was to roam the island and jump into every beach round the island. So i wore a bathing suit and sophie's and flipflops. Well..that [View Full Entry]

Today we just went and layed out at the beach. We both got mad color. I'm a little burnt on my face and shoulders, but all in all it's not bad. My dad rented jetskis for me and lauren. We went out around the small islands and far our into the ocean. At one point I went far enough out that I could see all the shorelines and the mountains...and I just floated there. It was so beautiful and unreal. I couldn't believe it. The water and the sky were crystal clear and blue. THe only way to tell the difference [View Full Entry]
