So after discovering I can live without hairdryers/cadburys/heat magazine and having developed a killer tan that doesn't seem to fade (whilst failing to find the meaning of life but deciding its unimportant and far more fun to comare rums of different countries) I have decided to spend some time wandering round south america. Will I ever come back to work....will I get fluent in Spanish....will i get new blogger friends....find out here!

And today I forded streams...

So in celebration of our massive hike yesterday we went to this amazing resturant we had heard about and, by chance, bumped into everyone else from the hike! So despite every bone in my body wanting to rest, the rum dictated otherwise and we ended up closing both resturant and the bar we went on to afterwards!!! This meant that this morning our plans were somewhat altered due to not being able to move until about 11! So instead we all just opted for going to the beach in the afternoon for some relaxing in the sun....if only it had been that simple!

So the beach was lovely and we saw a great spit which was easily accesible by walking through a bit of sea. So off we went for 3ish hours of sunbathing, shell collecting and playing in the sea not noticing that the tide was rapidly coming in. Can you see where this is going yet? So when the sun begins to set, we start to walk back only to be confronted by a rather large body of water with a v strong current blocking our way back. R and I tried to walk across a bit that was shallower but ended up having to be rescued from the current by the others so gave up on that idea and in the end had to be rescued by a local with a "boat" which looked suspiciously like a hollowed out tree trunk! Have never been so glad to see a road before but like to think we have given the locals plenty to talk about tonight!!! This is what i love about being away, even when you think you are going to have a quiet day it turns into an adventure!
