The thought of going back to school during our trip was a little daunting. Studying, homework and working the old grey matter didn't really appeal. As it turned out we needn't of worried, coffee on arrival, shoes off in the classroom and a general laid back atmosphere meant the class was great fun. Tim's brain nearly exploded a couple of times as he tried to cope with 'masculino y feminino' and 'estar y ser' the two verbs for 'to be'. Briony on the other hand d...

We'd like to say we've been rushed off our feet and haven't had any free time but in fact it's been the complete opposite.

This wouldn't have been so bad but it did mean Bee had to wear her hiking boots and week old woolly socks in 40 degree heat. Which wasn't too pleasant! Unable to check in we set about exploring the local area. After some dodgy empanada and a run in with a shady currency exchange we were really startin...
