On Saturday (20th) I made a last minute decision to go to Cape Coast with 2 other girls, and so had a mad rush to the STC bus station (almost comparable to National Express!) to get a bus ticket before they all ran out, then rushed back home to pack a bag and meet the other 2 girls to rush back to the station to catch the bus (which, surprise surprise, didn't leave on time anyway)! The taxi ride there was interesting though, as we got stuck in bad traffic around the main Circle, but I got chance to see the [View Full Entry]

Probably just a quick entry today as not feeling 100% and heading home to try and eat some dinner soon! Lots of us volunteers went to a reggae beach party on Labadi beach on Wednesday night which was really cool, lots of cool people (and a few hasslers!) but good music and scenery. But I ate some of a spicy sausage kebab and was so ill yesterday, couldn't stop being sick and spent all day in bed and in the toilet! Luckily it flushed for the whole day, and is still flushing today. Still no shower though, but good news is [View Full Entry]

Aishu (my roommate) gave me the good news that the toilet was flushing (we were using buckets of water before!), and I got excited that the water had come back on, so tried the shower and to my delight water came out, but [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone!! Arrived safely along with my bags! Had a good flight after what seemed like a shaky start, with a handcuffed Ghanaian women on the plane who was being deported, along with 3 escorts...seemed a bit excessive at first but she was completely hysterical and shouting, saying we didn't know how lucky we were to have British passports, and the proceded to call everyone racist.
