"I had such a good time! And I have been having a good time telling everyone what a wonderful job you did organizing the trip, and keeping us all happy.
The memories of this trip will be cherished for the rest of my life.
Geez, the markets were so great too. "

August Ghana Crafts tour 2010
July 30th to August 16th I will lead a craft tour taking a look at the Ashanti lost wax brass casting, the Kente weavers, beadmakers, carvers and more.
Too late to join that, but I will be doing individual tours up to the end of August - including setting up volunteer placements for fashion and jewellery designers to work with the beadmakers.
Cycle across lake Volta
See the countryside, get fit, and have the holiday of a lifetime in August 2010
I trialled this route in August 2007 and it was fantastic - remote, great scenery, very varied cycling with no cars. Your chance to cycle across the world's biggest manmade lake! Ok, we take a couple of ferries to help.
