Last night had a meal at the Castle Beach Restaurant – right on the beach next to one of the castles. We were sat on the veranda over looking the ocean to watch the waves roll in, though it was a bit dark to see very far. The meal was good but we probably should have had the Ghana food! Had a lovely meal and chat and then back to the chalet to sleep.<\/p>\n
Fell asleep quite quickly and slept well, but still up early. Had coffee and toast for breakfast with a discussion of why, when Africa is a large coffee producing continent, we get Nescafe instant and a pot of hot water! So really looking forward to some proper coffee. Then off to the meeting which went on all day. We did get a very nice lunch – all Ghanaian food and very good though the groundnut soup was spicy hot! Too hot to eat really. Now going to get a quick small meal and off to bed. The conference starts tomorrow morning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
