Day 91 – Monday 19th December 2005 With only 2 school days until Christmas I began to seriously consider where I was going to be at for the festivities. Since the beginning of the trip I had thought about being in the Bay Islands (Honduras) learning to scuba dive, but since I had learnt this [...]

Days 89 & 90 – Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th December 2005 I had thought about going away for the weekend, but when I woke up Saturday I just couldn’t be arsed to sit on a bus for any length of time, so I resolved to look around some of the museums and ruins in [...]

Days 84 to 88 – Monday 12th to Friday 17th December 2005 Its funny, but the more I learnt in school, the more I realised I needed to learn. I suppose this is true with everything in life. The week began well, my brain was functioning after the weekend break and I soaked up the [...]

Day 83 – Sunday 11th December 2005 The student hotel I was staying at included 3 meals a day Monday to Saturday, but on Sunday I was left to fend for myself. Therefore the three of us who were staying at the hotel all went out for breakfast. Which was nice. I needed a hearty [...]

Days 79 to 82 – Wednesday 7th to Saturday 10th December 2005 I woke up feeling much improved from the previous day, so set about to look for a Spanish school and to see if Antigua was as fine a city as the guidebooks and other travellers had made out. I began walking about looking [...]

There seems to be a problem with comments and the site in general at the moment, I will try and get this sorted out over the next few days. Cheers Flan for letting me know.

Days 76 & 77 – Sunday 4th & Monday 5th December 2005 In order to gain my scuba diving accreditation from PADI I needed to complete 4 dives, whilst carrying out a viariety of different skills on each dive. I wont bore you with what these were, but suffice to say none of these were [...]

Day 75 – Saturday 3rd December 2005 After having yet another early Friday night I woke up with the first light, ready to make like a fish and breathe underwater. Today’s dive was just going to be an opportunity to learn some of the skills I’d have to perfect to obtain my PADI Open Water [...]

Day 74 – Friday 2nd December 2005 I woke up unable to walk. My legs had stiffened up and I was hobbling like an old man as I walked towards the lakeside restaurants to get breakfast. I was unsure what to do with my day, and the way I saw it I had two options. [...]
