T.I.A.

Well we've arrived. We flew into Accra airport on wednesday night to be greeted by a few things:
1) Friendly people
2) A large sign telling us that paedophiles were not welcome
3) Ourt helmet was stolen
Good start.

We find a very cheap hostel after much jewish huddling and deliberating and we sleep....for 4 hours. We decided that it was best to come straight up to Tamale the next morning so at 4am we head off to the coach station. Then disaster no. 1 strikes: Aron has his (small) bag stolen from the coach station. We must have had our backs turned when an opportunist (read: dirty thief) took it. Not only his bag but his passport, phone, camera and some money were in it.

We leave Accra soon after and have a full day travelling and arrive late in the evening. We take a taxi to our new house (which is very nice) and we settle in.

I Wish i could elaborate more but i have 1 minute before my internet connection closes so i will end by saying TIA: This is Africa.

Ciao for now!
Dan
