Arriving in Accra was a bit of a shock for me as the traffic here has more the tripled! ... also it was Friday so the whole of Accra was on the move.
We eventually found our way to our hotel down this most sketchy dirt road but which led all the way to the sea!
I got some men to help me disgorge my luggage ... and gladly gave out cedis for their efforts! ..oh my, the bags are heavy!
I was totally captivated by our funny little hotel on the sea! Our rooms are small cement cells but the surroundings more than make up for them...
That afternoon we went off for our first 'getting to know' Accra walk... we found ourselves on a beach and delighted to wade in the cool water!!
That evening we ate at the vegetarian restaurant in our hotel and had a most delicious supper!!
It was then that we found out what the fly in the ointment was (there always is one, right?) ... the place is a hang out for Rastas smoking Ganga... and constantly trying to befriend us... for me this is a tiny issue but Kathy finds this very trying...
I am just looking forward to sleeping with the sound of the waves that i can hear even without the hearing aide!!! ...
..one thing Etienne was very present here... and i realized it is because the restaurant reminds me a lot of the place we went for his birthday in Panama!! ... i had to skype him to let him know...
... the conversation with him sounding like he was down the street!! was a wonderful closing of my day...
