I made it safely to Ghana! Hurray.
Got picked up by Sefa at the airport, and headed to a guest house for the night. The journey was pretty simple and largely painless due to the abundance of animated films available but was tarnished by the annoying kid sitting next to me who decided to kick me periodically to keep me awake. No manners.
Accra was big and sprawling, it was very difficult to orientate yourself around the endless winding streets. Luckily Sefa was driving so we were fine. We managed to go and see independence square and the national museum but it will be good to go back and explore the rest of the capital when we have a bit more time.
From Accra we headed north on a very plush coach (with air conditioning!) to Nkawkaw and from there up a very steep hill to Atibie. Atibie is a small villiage made of a few mansions on the outskirts and mainly dirt roads with small houses on either side. There is a main street which is lined with shops which somewhat bizarely all seem to sell the same things. Everyone is very nice, and we are welcomed by everyone several times a day.
