From Ekon to Nzuelezo Stilt Village

The Quebec theme continued into this past week. Marc had four French Canadian friends visiting from Drummondville, Quebec, and in order to escape from the South Carolinians camping in my house I spent most of the week and weekend tagging along with them. Actually work was very interesting this week. With CHRAJ we did a radio broadcast on Eagle F...

Paradise

Most of the group has left and I'm taking a couple days R&R at the most beautiful beach I've ever seen in Axim. It's about 60 km West of Elmina/Cape Coast and a very easy tro-tro ride with one transfer (about 3 hours). We're at the Axim Beach Hotel which my guide book said was a must see - they weren't kidding!!!!! The hotel is up on a hill ...

I guess I'm too old for the Peace Corps now

After 4 glorious days in Axim, I decided that paradise can only last so long. I started to get a little too much sun and missed having a bathroom attached to my room (I know, I'm spoiled, more on that below). On the trotro from Axim to Takoradi I met a Peace Corps volunteer who has been in Takoradi for the last 18 months. After our discussion I'...

I`m finally online!!

Hi all,

Well, on the 24th of December, my internet is connected. A nice Christmas present for us! I have to admit, I don`t feel really `Christmasy`...no snow, and it`s 34 degrees in the shade.

We had a good flight over...we were in those diagonal `pods` on the Air Canada flight to Frankfurt...Very space age, but fun because we coul...

renee sleeps on the beach.


I went to takoradi nearly a month and a half ago. Just got around to writing this now. Update.

1. If your plans are to stay at the green turtle lodge on Friday night and you get there to only find that, after your 3 hour journey, there are no vacancies, do not be alarmed. They will not turn you away. Instead they will tell you that y...

paradise

best, most relaxing place i have ever been. At this point in the trip (about 3/4 done... 90 days down) it was really nice to have such a calming vacation. This is NOT a very "ghanaian" spot: you won't see any ghanaians, unless you travel to the neighboring villages, you won't have the option to order fufu/banku/kenkey/red red/ground nut soup/pal...

Eco-Lodge, Picturesque beach and Och Tamale

Greetings to all-

I arrived back to Accra yesterday afternoon after four wonderful days at the Green Turtle Lodge (www.greenturtlelodge.com). This eco-lodge came highly recommended and when I arrived last Wednesday I quickly learned why. Set on a picturesque beach near the fishing village of Akwidaa the guide book is correct when they cal...

One last day on my beach

Today is my last full day at the lodge. I could really use a few more weeks here. I had a good night hanging out with the guests and chatting up Ansah last night. I'm going to miss his strange conversations. I went on the night hike with Emmanuel and nobody else came. We didn't see anything. After the beach walk we went into the bar and played *...

Big adventures and fighting boredom

This time my only excuse for not writing sooner is laziness as I have discovered a stash of pens in our room. Wednesday was the day Katherine was really sick again. It is so stressful being sick here not just because of the shared toilets but more because any symptoms that seem to just be a cold or flu could really be something much worse. Kathe...

Another road trip

Everyone at the lodge seemed to be in a party mood on Thursday night. There was a lot of liquor involved and some guests even made a bonfire on the beach. I went on the night hike hoping to see some hatchlings but there weren't any. When I got back to the lodge the party was in full swing. Usually things are pretty quiet after 10pm but the bar i...
