Day 1 of 30

People usually write blogs to say interesting things is a witty way and make their lives sound a wee but more exciting than it really is... I am not quite sure what I am supposed to be writing here and I don't really say things in an interesting way so I am just going top write down what I know, and that is what happens in my day. So here goes nothing and I hope you enjoy.

After the very long goodbyes we gave in Deptford we finally departed and made our way to the airport. Now I admit, leaving my Mum, Dad, and Grammy there was kind of upsetting but really and truly I have done it before so I didn't get too upset. We arrived at Heathrow at 6-something in the evening meeting Bianca's Nan who was waiting for us. It was very useful having her there because she had located everywhere we needed to be so checking in was rather easy and before we knew it, it was 21:05 and we were making our way to Gate 28 to board the plane. I fell asleep about 45 minutes after take off, but you can;t really blame me as 1) it was waaaay past the time I usually go off to bed and 2) I was sat between Alex and Jameela who were both rather giggly to begin with and that drained my energy. I was woken up at 00:30 ish because the plane food had arrived. Who in God's name serves food after midnight! and why did they wake me up! It was plane food and wasn't very nice. All I ate was the sweetcorn, two bites of bread, and drank a very mini Pepsi and fell back asleep.

So finally we arrived in Ghana and the first thing you feel is the intense heat. It was so humid and i was in jeans and it just wasn't very nice to be out in at first but you got used to it quickly. Unfortunately we didn't know the address of the hotel we were staying at so we had to wait at the passport control bit for ages before we could get through. Eventually we did and we flew by baggage checking and made our way to bus which would be taking us to our hotel. We were of course harassed by people who wanted to help us with our bags and earn some extra money but Mo put them straight saying "We didn't ask you to help."

We arrived at the hotel at 6 or so in the morning or probably later than that (it's been a long day) and we went into our rooms. The rooms themselves were very nice. I was sharing with Jameela and we had this massive bed, and a ceiling fan -- which btw will be in constant motion because it is reeeeally hot here (like I have mentioned). I was okay with the hotel I mean we later found out the we had this weired substance in the bathtub and the ceiling fan was not actually safe the have in constant motion, but the room had a bed and that is really what a person would want in a room, but Mo wasn't very happy. So we are moving hotels tomorrow... to one with a POOL! So I can't really complain.

I am now going top write about dinner as food is also very important to me. It was.... all right. I had bread and butter (the bread was to die for! So tasty) and half a cup of Milo (Jameela had the other half).

So what do I think of Ghana so far in my very tired state?? Humid.
