Day 1 and 2: Saturday 17th October 2015 – Sunday 18th October 2015
Sitting in our room under the wearing fan to try and stay cool from the heat after a long but lovely drive in the air conditioned van taking in the sights, sounds and smells of Ghana. On the drive got to see the “real” Africa chickens, goats and street sellers galore. We are enjoying relaxing after our long trip!
The flight was good and we made it through the airport quickly but we were all shocked by the humidity and the heat that stayed at around 27 degrees Celsius all night.
On with golden beaches and natural palm trees not to mention the tranquil turquoise sea, we felt we were in paradise.
The morale within the group is running high and we are really booking forward to meeting our buddies tomorrow and getting started on our projects. We are really enjoying ourselves and looking forward to the rest of the trip.
On the trip we kept our spirits high with spontaneous singing and learnt some Ghanaian songs using local language. Judith is our cook for the week and we will be helping her prepare the meals, the kitchen is full of plantain, pineapples, tomatoes, papaya. It tiring but eye – opening day.
