Sorry its been so long!
Sorryyyy, but we're here now! Some of the girls arent doing personal emails because they're saving spending money btw. So at the moment we're in Caye Caulker and loving it! Tanning/burning on the pier, swimming in the sea and eating as much food as we can squeeze in! Its beautiful here and we're loving the whole rasta feel of the island and how friendly everyone is :) tonight we're going on a sunset boat ride and then hopefully going out for an hour or two for our last proper night together! We're getting a little sad we have to leave here but so excited to get home and see everyone as we're missing you all so much! We're really proud however that we're not fed up of each and havent had a single fall out. love you alll xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Long time no speak :(
Hey all :) we are still having a good time even though half the team now has diarrhoea (i will explain all). So, we have just finished our project phase and are now in San Cristobal at a hostel with 1 computer so personal emails may be scarce. The project was brilliant, we arrived in a very remote village near Comitan and helped lay down concrete for their kitchen as well as painting their kitchen and their school (inside and out) we made a mural on the front wall of there school to leave our mark and it is absolutely beautiful! Just wait till you see the before and after pictures, you will be amazed! And very very very very proud. We got to know the people in the village fairly well and taught the kids multiple times including on our last day when we ran a sports day for them with football, hula hooping and a very simplified version of rounders! They made us food 3 times a day and gave us occasional snacks, EVERY meal had tortillas, we are officially fed up! But we did really enjoy the meals and feel we had a good taste of real Mexican cuisine. However, real Mexican cuisine is probably the cause of our illnesses as even our leader John has got pretty ill and he is meticulous with his antibac! Spirits are high and nobody has got serious home sickness which is good :) We are going on a canyon tour tomorrow which some of the group think will be the best day so far so we are really looking forward to that, after we are heading to Palenque where hopefully we should be able to update you again, if not, it will be after the main trek at Indian Creek in Belize. I havent given the last week enough credit for how amazing it was because I cant be on this comp long, but im sure you will all find out when we are back everything about everything as a lot of us have made packed diaries and theres a group diary too so from all of our perspectives of various days, its brilliant, one entry to look out for is Simran Bhandals first :) funny stuff! Adios from your again clean (after not showering for 6 days) taco belles :) Lots of lovesss! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
