not much to add here, apart from it rained so much, that the locals got scared..there was pictures of all the countries around us flooding...and all the local roads between the borders and countries...closed! i find the tuc tuc ride to the hostel amusing and giggle the whole way...dodging puddles felt like an amusement ride!
so matt and i hybernate at this wonderful hostel..if it had been sunny we would have stayed here for almost a wekk we think.
it had lovely dorms,
and the food was incredible..all you cn eat and all home cooked veggie stuff...even better it was in a system where you helped yourself, and felt very much at home.
to help pass the time we start some basic spanish lessons with a volunteer girl, hannah... its fun, and i spend my afternoons revising.. i cnt wait to get onto proper lessons, once lukey b arrives...
we stay for 3 nights, by then matt is getting bored, so we move on...not able to go the way we want to..due to the floods..the caves we wanted to go for are flooded and thus closed, so we head south...to rio dulce...
our very own fair ride...
