Middle of the word - almost



Took a bus to the equator. The best thing about it is that the French screwed up. Midi du Mondo is like Disney Land. A big complex with stages, restaurants, tourist shops, displays. At its centre is a massive monument supposidly on the equator. All this was built by the French but they got it wrong by 200M. Next door to the complex is a dusty little outdoor museum. It is not signposted but it is brillient and they have used GPS to put it right on the equatorial line. They do alsorts of dodgy scienitifc experiments and tricks using the equator. They also have a real shrunken head. What more could you ask for!

Started Spanish lessons. 5 hours a day, including lunch, when we dont speak a word of Engish. Very intense but fun
