Monday 13 July 2009

<p>Hi every one!!!! Thanks for all ur messages!!! So sorry for the very delayed blog entry!! but i am writting you one now!!!</p>
<p>ok so far.... we stayed in Accra for the first night and set of at 9 the next morning in a tro tro, they are like buses but not quite as nice!! and very squished!! we had 11 of us and all our bags in there!!!</p>
<p>When we arrived in Ho we said good bye to the others that werent staying in Ho and then upacked and went to the White House for dinner then went and bought drinks and had a bit of a laugh!!!</p>
<p>Monday we were taken to our placements by Courage who is the guy staying with us in the house!!! absolutly mad!!!!! I am currently working in the miracle life clinic, which is just like a larger version of a GP surgery!! i am working in the labs and learning how to do all of the tests!!! but i think next week i am going to the municipal hospital.</p>
<p>Most evenings we went out for some drinks and just relaxed after a day out in the heat!</p>
<p>This weekend was amazing!!! we went to a little village called leklebi, which is where Gideon is from an it was his birthday party so we went out to a "pub" called jimmy choos!!!! the bar tnder was called jimmy!!! we went there on the friday night and just danced for hours!!! we did that saturday night too and now my hp are feeling it!!!</p>
<p>Then saturday every one went to a huge aterfall but me and lida stayed behind because she got pushed and heur her ankle so i went with her to the clinic but we had a n amazing day any way!! every one here is sooooo friendly so thee is never ny need to worry abut anything!!! the on sunday we went to church which was not as lively as we all thought it was going to be but it was interesting but we didnt understand because it was all in ewe!!!</p>
<p>After church we went back to the house and had lunch then we played a football match against the local villagers and instead of getting thrashed we drew 1-1!!!! GO TEAM MAD!!!!!</p>
<p>Then we got back into a tro tro and drove the 2hours back to Ho,</p>
<p>That is the basics of everything so far!!</p>
<p>The food here is good!!! some of it is amazin but some is a little bit too diffeent!!!! ( mum i am not the only one who thinks that!! )</p>
<p>Every one is so friendly and the place is so nice and welcoming although everything is well below poverty line it doesnt matter!!!! people share what they have evn if is their last bit of it!!!!! i am in love with Ghana!!!!</p>
<p>Everythng is really cheap here as well!!!! it costs 1 cedi to get two people to the clnic which is a 15 minute journey!!! thats equivalent to about 40p!!!!</p>
<p>Any way i had better go!!! i hope that is enough for the mean time!!!</p>
<p>I will try and send up dates via m phone when ever i can!!!</p>
<p>Miss and love you all!!!!!</p>
