Paradise

Today me, Tutu and Sophie decided to hit the beach near to Kasoa, planning to head for Bortianor (the location of one of the schools) and find a beach near there.  Marc Bea however, the hotel owner, directed us towards 'Bojo beach'- the best advice I have received since arriving in Ghana.  We took a tro to the supermarket to pick up some picnic items, and then a taxi to Bojo (which unfortunately would not let us enjoy our picnic goods- no outside food allowed)- the most beautiful beach ever! We were taken across a small lagoon to a huge sand embankment in the sea.  There was a restaurant/bar, Ghanaian music, lovely white sand, and blue blue sea- idyllic.  The day involved a considerable amount of sunbathing- leaving me brown with a hint of pink (exaggerated by our strange bathroom lighting- which makes me look red most of the time).  The views into the sea and over to the palm-fringed shores, with large numbers of small wooden boats passing by and moored off-shore were a perfect depiction of just how beautiful Africa can be.  We stayed until the sun had set then went back over on the boat and took a taxi to the hotel.  An all round relaxing and perfect beach day, which we rounded off by eating our picnic (a little worse for wear by this point) in the hotel.
