Just about finished with the craziness of having the parents under my wing. We had some crazy travel time–which I’ll detail later–and then we settled into a nice resort in the Central Region for some R&R. I don’t do so well with sitting idle but I admit the spot was very nice. Thanks to Duffy’s Sherlock Holmes-esque internet research skills for tracking the place down. It’s called “Stumble Inn” and I’ll have to write a treatise on it when I have more time.
For now we’re killing time in the Accra Mall before my parents fly out this evening. We just had latte-like drinks from the Cafe/International Food/Chinese Food joint. Not sure why they had to be rolled into one.
We had big plans for visiting Makola market today, but I don’t see any reason to run my parents any more ragged than I already have. They’ve been troopers anyway, though I don’t approve of the amount of air-conditioning they required for our journeys. In their defense, we did spend well over 50 hours in busses, tro-tros, and taxis, so they do deserve some credit for their survival.
Many updates and photos to come. You just wait!
What a great experience for your parents. I for one am glad that my daughter likes to travel, it has given me the opportunity to see another side to our world.
Yeah I think it works out well for everyone. Except for all the lonely Christmases… but I’ll be home for next Christmas!
