Hope you have enjoyed this selection of photos - there are lots more (we'll put them on discs when we get back to school).
There are lots of stories linked to these photos - the trip was hectic with hardly a second to draw breath but we feel we were able to get to know what life in both Costa Rica and Cuba is really like.
Enjoy the rest of the holiday.
