The Trip - Off we go!

Assuming all is going as planned (which it will be), the team is now meeting (probably a bit tired from early morning and losing an hour as clocks go forward), and setting off on our trip to Honduras to visit The Manuelito Home.

More news when we can get to a computer or get a mobile signal, and can give you an update!

Over to you - Any Questions about Honduras?

Ok, so we have been asking you a few questions to see what you might already know about Honduras, and we think you have been doing quite well.

So why don't we turn the tables, and let you ask the questions about Honduras and those who live there, and we will ask them on your behalf to those who we meet there.

If you have a question that you want to ask one of the team or someone who lives in Honduras, then add it as a blog comment or as a tweet on twitter with #2013honduras, and we will see if you we can get an answer for you, and add it as a tweet and as part of a post.

Mind you, we will filter the questions for appropriateness, but we are sure you quite sensible anyway!

Honduras Quiz part 6 -the answers!

Well done for keeping on coming back, and here are the answers you have been waiting for:
  1. Belize
  2. Bottle nose dolphins
  3. depths
  4. silver
  5. 80%
  6. Maya
  7. 1821
  8. 8,000,000
  9. Orchid
  10. 11
So how did you do?

When the team going to Honduras did it, some of us only got 2 and a few got up to 7, so we reckon it's quite difficult!
