Last Saturday we left Nicaragua, and set of for Costa Rica. But the journey was terrible, it was fun just very scary. That day it had been raining like a monsoon, so that meant that all of the rivers were flooded and were still flooding too, we came to our first river that looked terrible, it was flowing quite fast, it was deep and very wide. Even the Nicaraguans were pooping themselves. Our driver was like, 'we just have to go for it', so we did, it was pretty much plain sailing when we went through the river, when we got to the other side we had to wait for the truck behind, but they sailed through too. Then we came to a turning, a guy called Felipe got out and said, if we go right their might be a massive hole in the road. So we headed left, but that was are big mistake. We came to a very fast running, very very wide and also very very very deep river. It looked fine to start with then everyone got out, it was still raining, everyone thought it could be very deep, then our driver tested how deep it was. Obviously it was, well, you know, deep! Our driver got back in and Charles said to him, 'your boss looks like a drowned rat!' Then he told us that we were going to reverse through it, we all stopped laughing so we went for it, and sure enough it was deep, but surprisingly it wasn't deep for very long and then we made it through it all, and arrived at Tamarindo.

So were you a bit scared Sam? Or did you just think, well, it'll be ok because I can swim in the sea, surfing, so I can swim in this river too? I bet you weren't scared anyway, because anyone who can fly a helicopter like you did is clearly very brave.

I just read Mum's blog and understand that you have almost finished Percy Jackson. Why not, when you have finished it, tell us why you found it so fantastic,(or awful) but try and persuade me to read it. I promise you that I shall read it if you can persuade me how good it is.
