Havana,Cuba July,2011. Partagras Cigar Factory

Written By: Alvaro – Jul• 13•11

Today we are at the cigar factory. Cuba is the most important country for cigars. The difference between a cigarette and a cigar is that cigars are brown and cigarettes are brown and white. Cigars are fatter and longer than cigarettes. cigars and cigarettes are very bad for you and can kill you.

At the cigar factory we had to follow a lady. First she showed us the leaf that they use for cigars. some people were taking part to take a vein out of the leaf. Then she showed us the school were they learn how to make cigars. Then we went up stairs and they were making cigars. They pick a man to read a newspaper at the morning for 45 minutes a day and he reads a chapter of a book every day in the afternoon.

Pedal boat in Trinidad, Cuba

Written By: Alvaro’s dad – Jul• 16•11

On a lovely sunny day we went to the beach. At the beach we had to put some sun-cream on because it was so sunny. I was the first to go in the water, the water was see through. I told my mum if we could go on the pedle boat. She said yes but the man that is a staff said that we had to wait for 5 minutes. Omar, me, Aida, Tariq, Iyas and Paola went on the boat. I went in for the longest in the water. After that we ate at a folded pizza. After we went to the sail boat.

Che Guevara

Written By: Alvaro’s dad – Jul• 18•11

Che Guevara was a argentinian doctor. He had a trip around South America on a motor bike. While he was travelling around South America he saw some poor people and some rich people. The poor people were working hard and not earning very much money from the rich people, and he saw that the rich people were treating the poor people badly. So he decided to help the poor people.

We went to see the fight at Santa Clara. Their was 350 soldiers and 19 guerillas. The soldiers were on 5 train carriages to bring weapons t their friends. While they were going their, Che surprised them by breaking the track from the bulldozer. The 19 guerillas and Che attacked the soldiers by using the Molotov cocktails. Some soldiers got killed some didn’t but then the soldiers said stop fighting we give up you win we loos.

We went to the Che Guevara museum. We saw his writing. We saw a chair from his grand other’s dining room. Che was a very good rugby player. We saw a machine gun and a gun that he brung with him. We saw 11 guns, a lamp, old fashioned Xxx, a ginormous walky talky, a sword. His hat had a star on it. Che died in 1967.

Zip wires in Costa Rica

Written By: Alvaro’s dad – Jul• 30•11

Today we are in Costa Rica at EXTREME Canopy. A man who works here told us how to put the harness on and were to put your hands and feet. On the second ride I got used to it. The first few rides were practice rides and they were 30 or 40m. The rappel was so scary that 2 people went in front of me and it was like the ride in thorp park. The rappel is when you go down. The superman was last and the one that I thought was the coolest. After we drank water and ate pringles.
