We had a trip to the Botanic gardens today, after two hours of dancing from 7am (or 8am in Ghana Time). It was 50 pesewas to enter if you were local and 20,000 cedi if you are foreign but I think Tim negotiated a good deal for us. You get fined 25 cedis if you are caught with a camera! But Derek spoke to someone later who gave us permission.
There was a large helicopter in the park at the gardens and so everyone was all around it, it had crash landed there years ago and is now something to be explored or played on! In England, it would have been incinerated straight away - health and safety!
We climbed up and down a mountain basically, in the jungle in the gardens. Tiring but really worth it to see the wildlife and bond more with our hosts.
Later on we sat in the gardens just before we were about to leave and we had a language lesson in 'Twi' using a sheet of paper which had been pinned to a tree with a knife by Tim. We are getting quite good now and I am hoping we can learn some more soon.
We had an early night after chicken dinner.
