First of all I have to say I have LOVED reading your comments. I miss you all very much and it is lovely to hear from you all when I am so far from home! I am really glad that you are all enjoying Primary 4 and I cant wait to see you all again when I am back. Just think, you will be starting Primary 5!
I have done A LOT of travelling since my last post. After being in Panama I spent a few weeks in Costa Rica. It was a lovely country where they grow a lot of coffee and bananas. In fact, next time you eat a banana check where it comes from as many of them are grown here in Central America. I visited some waterfalls and I cycled along some very pretty beaches. The best thing in Costa Rica was a crazy zip wire that I did over the forest in a rainy wee hillside town called Monteverde. It was much higher and longer than the one I did in Argentina. I have a DVD with pictures and video of it to show you when I get back!
The next country I visited was Nicaragua. In the past this has been quite a dangerous country with lots of fighting between the different people who lived here. However, now it is at peace and it is a very friendly, beautiful place. I stayed on an island which has 2 volcanoes, called Isla Ometepe. There was also lots of areas of rain forest and I was lucky enough to see the howler monkeys, and lots of birds and lizards. There are very pretty towns in Nicaragua with many beautiful buildings that were built long ago when the Spanish had travelled there.
Now I am in Honduras. I am staying in a town called Copan Ruinas which is near to the border with Guatemala. There are some very famous ruins here. They were built by an ancient civilization like the Incas but this time they are called the Mayans. The site is incredible. There are pyramid buildings and lots of carvings of the ancient Mayan Gods. The site was re-discovered over 200 years ago and a lot of work is beig done to re-construct and protect it. When I was there I was also lucky enough to see macaws flying through the trees (see photo).
