Turtles woohoo

Ey peeps!

No worries, I’m still alive and I’m still having a blast here in Ghana! Yes, the teaching is tough, the food we get at home is still blah and I spent most of my days sweaty, but it’s amazing anyways. Last Friday, when I was sitting in the back of a stuffy minibus (38 Ghanaians, Britt, Nat and me) with my superwhite shoulder half out of the window so I could hear the kids shouting ‘’Obruni! Obruni!’ and was watching the hustle-bustle outside and breathing in the smoky air, I found out that ever though I wasn’t sure I could do this 3 weeks ago, there is nowhere I would rather like to be right now.

So, this weekend we took a taxi, bus and another taxi to the Green Turtle Lodge for some relaxing beach time and baby turtles! We left the volunteer house at 7 in the morning and arrived 4 in the afternoon, but the drama was worth it because the place was gorgeous! I made another little film of it!

For anybody who is interested; One of my fellow volunteers, Britt, who works with me as a teacher at the school and is absolutely awesome writes a blog about her adventures here! She and her friend Jess will be going home next week, but her posts are worth a read. I especially agree with the last one about the difficulties over here and I recommend you to read it, as she writes so much more… eloquent than me.

I shan’t lie Britt, school would be a nightmare without you!
