Well that was the idea, but it was actually raining so we couldn't even see the mountains... until a small area cleared, and wow! It has a Hogsback feel to it. Magical!
Owned by "the German Couple", Bernhard and Sabine Hagspiel. They packed up their lives in Germany, took a road trip through Africa, and got as far as here. And haven't left!
19th to 21st August
Great night's sleep, although the bloody rooster and sheep cut it short. Cold dribble hand shower, but that doesn't deter us, we love it here!
Especially after visiting all the other hotels in Ho Hoe (put a hot potato in your mouth then say "Ho Ha" - lessons from Sabine). We are staying in the best! One other halfway decent spot around the corner, where we had a beer (Guinness – horrible!) and found the hotseat for MTN to pick up sms's. The only spot in the whole area, beside in the rafters of the computer school house next door to where we were staying.... Had some yam chips with Shitor dip – small fish (like anchovies) with chillies and spices in a tomato paste.
Off to the internet café but there were too many people using it so no connection. I'm slowly getting used to being without it – I usually check emails at least 5 times a day if I'm not at the office!
Met Steve, an American teacher who has set up a non-profit computer school next door to the lodge. www.Tech4Ghana.org.
He is on the constant lookout for volunteer teachers, sounds very tempting; I could find myself settling here too!
