Sounds like 6pm is the time to get out there and see what is going on! It is probably a scooby-doo type ploy to prevent you from finding out that the whole town is having fun/making a fortune behind your back. If you do stumble on the diamond stash, you are welcome to post them to me and I will look after them until you are home....

Hi Emma, I am very happy for you. The location is definitely not ideal. Also, I don't think it is a good idea to take a cab on your own especially at night but I am sure everything will be fine. Good luck with your lessons. How are you getting on with the food? I am happy to hear that you are already feeling the south american welcome. Take care and have loads of fun, Carolina

Blimey Em, you take care out there. Sounds to me as though you could do with hiring some body guards. I could offer myself up as a human shield!

Oh Em, have a fabulous time! I'm sitting here doused in baby sick and feeling very jealous. Look forward to reading all about it.
