missed my flight

no trip of mine would be complete without a major fuck up, and that's without mentioning the bed bugs and 2 hours spent on a hot, stuffy broken-down metro in mexico city.

i've just missed my flight to los angeles because i didn't complete the online visa. fortunately the man put me on the next flight in 3 hours with no extra charge. thank god i am not flying with easyjet. let's just hope there is no souvenir elephant tucked away in my luggage.

hopefully it's plain sailing from here on in. ginger sarah is so organised i can't imagine anything else can go wrong.

see you in a week (hopefully). x

Vic´s trip to a volcano

Today I ate marshmellows which we had toasted in the lava of an active volcano.

Estudio Espagnol en Granada

Apologies for the lack of contact. I´ve been studying intensively in the stunningly beautiful town of Granada, Nicarargua.

I finaly left Samara after 5 weeks of sun, sand, sea, and surfing. It was time to leave. Typically, I´d been spending too much time straddling things other than my surf board )pool tables, dance podiums etc). Also, the Spanish I was learning with my gangster friend was only fit for a stint in prison or a brothel.

I´ve had a much quieter time in colonial Granada, studying by day and chilling out with my host family at night. It´s so lovely, I have a mum and dad again. Marlene and her husband Agusto have really looked after me. He´s been concerned about my cough, spoon feeding me medicine as I lie in the hammock every day. I haven´t the heart to tell him it´s a smoker´s cough. It really is like being back at school again. Every day I´m up at the crack of dawn, doing my homework, before cycling off to school. I am now able to converse a fair bit in Spanish.
