Today was brilliant, we walked through Accra and saw a lot of the city close up which was very different from being in the minibus. We went to the beach where everyone got the chance to jump over waves, play football and sunbathe, after two hours we felt that the sun was too hot to keep everyone out in the open so we had some pineapple in the shade and then set off to the Arts market. This was a brilliant experience, Kassim and Sanusi kept an eye on us we walked around the stall, making sure we were no ripped off by any of the sellers and we all got some very nice things to bring home. All of the stalls were small huts not far from the beach and there were so many people carving masks, drums, jewellery and other unusual items. They were all very friendly and one man asked which part of England we were from. Scott told him 'London' as it is usually easier, he said 'oh, I've only been to Lincolnshire!'.
We had a stop at a lovely cafe/restaurant and drank all of the fizzy drinks from cold glass bottles (oh and cans still have the OLD ring pull on over here) Then we went shopping in the fabric market and saw some wonderful clothes and materials and hats. Abbi bartered with everyone and got loads of things for cheap - she can get away with anything! We came back for drinks and have found a fast food place which serves pizza, so we are heading there in 5 minutes. Nearly everywhere here just serves Chicken - but you do get the option of have rice OR chips with it!
