Well we awoke in our straw roofed hut at beachcombers Guesthouse at about six thirty to brilliant, baking sunshine. We are starting to get used to this, its like heaven. We went to the terrace for breakfast and after a while a girl came and asked us what we wanted. The choice was toast with cheese or jam, or an omelet, with tea or coffee. We were delighted to discover that the cheese on offer was that familliar classic, Laughing Cow, and as usual the tea an...

We all posed for group photos and then we...

We woke up on Friday and decided that we had been almost horizontal for too long so we decided to visit a local beauty spot called Wli (pronounced Vli) Falls. We had read somewhere (probably that Bradt Guide again!) that the Wli Falls were the highest falls in West Africa so it would have been a pity to miss them, wouldn't it? This wasn't a long journey and we shared a cab with about three others so it was a very luxurious ride by Ghanaian standards. We were...
