A needed break from life in the city

Last night i discovered blisters on my feet due to all the walking around the campus, which made me decide not going hiking... But i needed to get out of the city, and so i managed to find a very nice bed and breakfast outside of town that is highly recommended by the excellent guide book i carry with me wherever i go here. It is a really cosy place, i have a big room with a big bed, AC (person that came up with this idea is a genius!!), free dvd:s, own bathroom with bath tub, water closet (another genious idea...), and the breakfasts are supposed to be fantastic. The place is owned by a Canadian-Ghanaian couple, and so they mix the best of both worlds... Looking forward to those pancakes, and the fresh fruit, and the home made bread, and the home made jam! I just hope my body agrees, i think i have lost weight here.
Anyway, had another crazy taxi ride today. If they dont know where the place im asking for is, why dont they say so, instead of driving around, parking the car a number of times by the road while cars drive pass in one heck of a speed... Doesnt help either when he gets annoyed and start shouting at other drivers, blaming hotel staff for not writing down how he should find it... Ah well, its easier tolet some things go, like water on a goose.
One thing i have noticed is that children come up to me quite often, waving at me from buses or cars while shouting Ubruni (white person or foreigner)! Sometimes they just come to introduce themselves by their first names, after the appropiate greeting of course which is Hello, good morning. After that you can speak about what you want. Greetings are very important here. You are considered rude otherwise. Yesterday some kids on their way home from school came running after me, asking if they could walk with me, and we had a chat, it was really nice. Kajsa told me that there is a belief that if a Ghanaian sees a white person, they dont need to go to church on Sunday, which the majority claim they do. The reason being that if you have seen an Ubruni, you have seen an angel, this would explain why so many people look so happy when they see me.
I am enjoying the break from the city, i will stay here until Monday, when i go back to the city of Kumasi. The reporter and the photographer from Sweden might arrive in Kumasi on Wednesday! This will be interesting.
Have a nice weekend everyone!
