Hellooo, all well i hope!
Today i booked a bus ticket to Kumasi. The bus leaves at 6.30 tomorrow morning. I have to check in at 5.30, urrrrgh. Good thing is i´ll leave before the sun is high in the sky and i arrive during daylight. I have even booked two nights at a hotel so i don´t have to run around with my backpack, but can jump into a taxi and go straight to the hotel!
I´ve seen there is a internet café closeby so i should be able to keep you updated before i head out on the countryside. I may get some company there by a Swedish journalist and a photographer who is writing a piece on the situation of cocoa farmers. But that will probably be in about a fortnight or so. The journalist found out through MFS-staff that i´ll be there and thought it could be a good idea to tag along. We´ll see about that. I´ve agreed to a lunch and we´ll take it from there. They want to interview me and join me to a plantation.
I´m sorry about not being able to put pictures up. If i can sort it out in Kumasi, you´ll notice, but here in Tema it wasn´t possible.
Today i spent the day alone, as alone as you can be here because people are very friendly and helpful. I took a taxi on my own, went to buy bus tickets, booked a hotel in Kumasi, spent the afternoon in a hotel having lunch and reading about Ghana while being served an enormous pot of tea, probably because i got the numbers wrong and overtipped the waiter:) It was by his reaction that i discovered it. Not that it was a fortune in any way, but more than he expected. Obviously.
Today was probably the first day i got homesick, badly. I didn´t want to be here anymore. At all. I called Carles, thank you for your support!! I probably got a bit scared when Kajsa left, knowing i had to leave the house alone... Or should i blame it on the Lariam? But as you know it all went well, and that makes me feel better too, i can do this.
Hugs and kisses to you!

Hej Jessica!
SvaraRaderaJag tänker mycket på dig. Hoppas att du har fått en god nattsömn och att du mår bra. Har du köpt gummistövlar ännu? Synd det där med bilderna, hoppas det ordnar sig. Det är ju faktiskt bra att du har hemlängtan för det är ett tecken på att du trivs bra hemma i Sverige:-) + att du kommer att växa och känna dig starkare när du väl kommer hem.
STOR VARM KRAM

It´s pretty normal how you feel, soooo many changes and soooo many new things to do, learn, digest : )
SvaraRaderaDon´t worry about it, you will be just fine, you are strong and very intelligent, time will pass really fast and you will be home soon homesick from Ghana : )
Hugs and kisses from Nuria
