Day 1 and 2
The last two days have been manic! It started with our 6 hour flight from Heathrow to Accra where everyone was very excited. Once we get to Accra, the bustle of the airport exhausted us and the baggage reclaim was nothing like what we had seen before. We all slept soundly at the hostel ready for our long journey the next day. Ellie B didn’t get off to the best start as before we had even left the UK, her camera had broken and when we arrived in accra, she found a tick on her! But don’t worry she’s fine. The journey on the safari truck down to Ayensudo mainly consisted of ducking from invading branches, trying to sleep and Milly singing. But eventually we arrived at Ayensudo to an overwhelming welcome ceremony and an opening ceremony where we had to get up and dance. We were then introduced to our buddies and got the opportunity to get to know them better. We also established camp and were put into groups for camp duties. We are looking forward to the rest of the week!
