Thursday morning is an early start as Chris has to get to a conference on windpower in Accra.  So I drive him at 5.30am to catch a bus.  The light is just dawning as we leave.  The main road to Winneba is already busy at that time, and we drive down to the market to find the bus.  The ticket costs the equivalent of 50p. It will go when it is full.  We are not convinced that the bus we are sitting by is the one we are waiting for, but just as the bus gets full a woman comes to tell Chris that the bus is ready to go, and there is just one seat waiting for Chris, so that is good.

Whilst we had been waiting, the market was slowly coming to life. People were cleaning up the rubbish that had accumulated over night, and setting out their stalls. Driving back to the village, I stopped off at the College and the students are getting together to start their lessons at 7.15am.  I went back to my lodgings for breakfast!

I spent quite a lot of the morning with Castro, the head, sorting out our response to the letter from ICCES.  It took some effort to get it to be a reasonable length and to confirm all the points we wanted to get across. However, we did in the end, which was good.  We then printed several copies to deliver to Accra and the local offices.  

We spent some of the afternoon talking with some of the students and helping them practice their English.  It is difficult, as they hear so little English from native English speakers, and so pronounciation and Vocabulary are hard to get right and develop.  After the end of college, we walked through the village, getting lots of photos of small children wFho lined up to have their photos taken, and some mothers too.  The beach is lovely in the late afternoon sunlight, and we watched some fishermen launching their dugouts through the waves, which is really hard work, into seas that crash into the shore- not for the potentially travel sick.
