Last night following our long haul flight from Amsterdam we made a short journey to the guest house, and our tired and hot group headed to bed.
All the Ghana travelling crew woke up bright and early preparing for our arrival in Amisano village today. Once we are settled in our accommodation we’ll be meeting and be greeted by the chief, our buddies and many of the locals. We all can’t wait!
What a journey! Our bumpy bus ride from Accra to Elmina town was nothing but exciting, we definitely had a culture shock! From the breath-taking views of the ocean to the busy streets of the capital everything was undeniably beautiful but different to anything we had ever seen before. All the locals were extremely welcoming, some waved and blew kisses.
We stopped off at a small, welcoming cafe in the midst of our journey, where we had our first breakfast in Ghana. A multicoloured lizard even popped in to say hello! We even had a chance to buy a drink of coke, not so different to home!
We have all arrived safely and can’t wait to get stuck in with all the painting, teaching and learning!
Jack, Gina, Amy and all the project Ghana crew, to be continued…
