We traveled south for nearly 4 hours and we finally met water. Actually, two bodies of water to be exact. One current was the freshwater current and the other was the salty sea current. when those two water met, it made a gorgeous view of surfs clashing into each other.
I will really try to work on uploading the pictures today. The internet connection being slow will probably not help, but I will try to do something different this time. Ah the internet, that's another thing i can talk about. I've almost pulled my hair out because of the connection here. Of course, i didn't expect a 5 star hotel quality wi-fi connection, but its slowness and instability sometimes got on my nerves. Oh well, that's just a luxury that I got to give up a little.
After the power went out and came back again, which happened about 4 times while a week passed for me, the internet stopped working. Well, being overly enthusiastic to fix things, I tried restoring the internet connection by resetting the wi-fi router. Alas, the problem was not fixed but only more problems were created. One extra problem was the change of the password to the default password. Richard glared at me for several hours for that. Another problem was that when the technician came in and fixed the router, the password was set in case sensitive format. I, along with everyone who was unaware of this fact, moaned for many hours until someone figured out that its all in CAPS.
Richard knew, but he didn't tell us. What a meany.
Anyway, that was a interesting diversion from the beach story.
So when we got to the beach, we had to take a boat to cross the island. A nice boat-ride commenced. The beach and the sea was absolutely beautiful and refreshing. During the day we bought some freshly picked coconuts from the children for 50 pesewa, and enjoyed them while we were rocking gently on the hammocks. At night, we went to the campfire where the natives were dancing to the rhythm of the drums. It was a wonderful day. We went back to our huts, where we spent the night.
My friends and I decided to wake up at 5 in the morning to see the sunrise. I was excited and went to bed, having set alarm at 5. But since last week, i started coughing without an apparent reason, and since thursday, it has been difficult to sleep during the nights as I kept coughing. No other symptoms whatsoever. I'm beginning to think I may have Asthma or some kind of allergy, though I had neither of them before.
So throughout the night, I kept looking at my phone, only to find out it was not 5 already. But when that time came, I actually fell asleep and woke up again at 5:40, by which time, the sun had already came out. But unfortunately, the girls were unable to witness the sunrise because the sky was cloudy. We had a nice chat in the morning and some of us read books throughout the day. I am not not much of a reader, so I stuck with swimming and sleeping and playing cards.
I first tried the local Ghanaian food called the Baku, which is a type of sticky bread that you dip in a sauce (all of this had to be done by hand). Very tasty it was indeed. When the 2 days of relaxation were over, we got back on our Tro and commenced the 3 hour ride again.
