The Trans - The End: Accra Airport

Here I am - at the airport in Accra...its past my bedtime so hopefully we can board the plane soon and I can sleep!!

Today was my last day on The Trans. At about 8:30 this morning I gave my final hugs and watched the big yellow truck pull away for the last time!!

The Trans - At the Beach: One day left on The Trans!!

We arrived at the beach on Saturday! It feels amazing to be here!!! So relaxing...especially because I had a lie-in this morning and am NOT helping with the truck clean today. I have decided to follow our leaders example of the past 9 weeks and be a lazy American. So while everyone else was up at 7:30 to scrub pans and stuff in the parking lot of the hotel - I was sleeping in my air-conditioned beach hut! And now I'm sitting over a cup of tea and watching the waves - and the people in the group scrubbing pots in the sea. It looks like they are about finished with everything now. I'll be safe and be able to go lay in a beach chair soon!! BUT I am NOT going to scrub pans on the last day of my holiday!!! Just like I am not going to be involved in cooking dinner for everyone tonight because I think its my groups turn to cook again.

The Trans - Kumasi...boiling hot!!

I'm dying!!!  Its so bloody hot here!!!  Thank God I have a room with air-conditioning!!  I don't know how people are able to sleep in their tents - or sit around all day without being able to go hide in the A/C!!  It doesn't get this hot where I come from...I just can't handle it apparently!!!

So - today is our last full day in Kumasi...I had to help prepare breakfast

The Trans - Kumasi...5 DAYS!!!

Well, we are back in civilisation again, but I think the group is falling apart even more.  Its been a rough few days...but there was so much potential for it to be good...but it really hasn't been.  There's a lot to say so I'll try to make sense.

Let's see - the last post was crossing into Ghana.  So we bush camped that night and things were fine...I think.  It all started going wrong when we arrived at Mole National Park.
