VSO in Ghana / East Africa Cycle: October 2010

http://lucyandy.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

VSO in Ghana / East Africa Cycle. Tuesday, 26 October 2010. As if it were nothing more troublesome than a mere cold, people in Ghana often casually mention that they have recently had a little malaria, and before long go about their daily tasks regardless. Well I've just probably had malaria, and no daily tasks were being conducted. For these people and I, medication is affordable. Four days' daily intake of 22 pills and pirated Arnie Swarzenegger movies and I was back on my feet. Many can't affo...Quite...

http://lucyandy.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

VSO in Ghana / East Africa Cycle. Thursday, 30 June 2011. Stunning images of attractive lycra-clad sporty/bumbling cyclists will follow by the way. To Laura, Jeremy and Alistair for putting us up and showing us such fantastic hospitality despite the fact you didn't know us and we were several days late. and filthy. and too tired to speak. On our right is a huge ridge. We're told later by Rob - the geologist at the gold. Ps note Indiana Jones - stylee wagon chasing Lucy down the mine. Lovely cup of chai.

VSO in Ghana / East Africa Cycle: Character and characters

http://lucyandy.blogspot.com/2011/08/character-and-characters.html

VSO in Ghana / East Africa Cycle. Tuesday, 2 August 2011. You get a bit of a feel for the nature of people when you're cycling along, generalisations based of course on nothing more than a few days experience. But it's quite interesting to think back at our perceptions of the distinctive character of different areas. Luo (Western Kenya and Eastern Uganda) were much more vocal and shouts of Muzungu, How are you? Bit of a ramble but I found it nice to recall! 10 August 2011 at 01:47. Great stuff, jealous d...

VSO in Ghana / East Africa Cycle: July 2011

http://lucyandy.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

VSO in Ghana / East Africa Cycle. Saturday, 23 July 2011. This is a big thank you to all those agencies and individuals who have decided to. Cycling the pass from Muko to Kisoro in the far south west of Uganda should be set up as an expensive adrenaline activity for those needing a sudden and lasting (several hours) glimpse of their own mortality. The smooth tarmac and "thousand hills of Rwanda" is almost a joy after that. Saturday, 16 July 2011. Warthogs seemed pretty interested in our dinner. Disti...

Tall buildings, choice of foods, i=Pads and Kindles and i-Phones, restaurants, public transport, trains and fast cars and smooth roads, friends, family and delicious meals and cold rainy days, delicious sandwiches and reliable electricity and running water. so many things to be excited about now we're back. I'm trying to remember to be grateful for all those things but its easy to see that appreciation slipping away. Thank you. Lucy. Originally...
