It’s going to be a hot one!

21st March 2010

I stepped off the plane last night and was hit by a wall of solid humid heat. It was 8.30pm. I was picked up by Sammy an employee of a friend of a friend (Rupert) who has agreed to give me a base in Accra whilst I’m in Ghana. We like to beg and borrow accommodation and transport where possible! Rupert is Managing Director of a transport logistics business so I am picked up in a 4x4 Honda with blacked out windows, quite a step up from the usual battered old taxi with a hole in the floor. I feel a little underdressed for the occasion. The temperature gauge in the car says 28 degrees. Sammy takes me to Rupert’s house where I am given the warmest of welcomes accompanied by a local beer called “Club”, a slice of very cheesy pizza and Michael McIntyre on DVD (not very African so far). I have an early start tomorrow so turn in, very tired but looking forward to unfolding the mysteries of several new destinations over the next 10 days.

Africa time

Well so much for blogging every day! I landed Sunday night, it is now Friday! Needless to say so far nothing has gone according to plan, things keep breaking and everything is just a little bit chaotic! Anyway...I have finally found an internet cafe that has internet so I will post a couple of things that I have written over the past few days. These posts started short and sweet but as you know, this is not characteristic of the author so apologies in advance for the length of the rest! I will post Sundays blog then Monday's etc etc. I only have 4 followers so not too concerned that I'm letting anyone down!

Enjoy

Off to Ghana on Sunday

I'm off to Ghana for the first time on Sunday and thought it might be nice to share the experience with those of you who are interested in COCO and the way we select and evaluate our projects! I will try to be honest and interesting and would appreciate any feedback you have! I also have no idea as to the accessability of internet but I hope to update as much as possible! Happy reading! Lucy :-)
