Someone wise said to me that the danger of coming to Africa in the first place is that I just may not ever want to leave. As I contemplate all good things coming to an end, I'm trying to work out how I can stay for longer. It's a cliche but the continent is soo vast and countries differ so greatly that I want to wander and explore it all.
We had a trip planned to Obudu Cattle Ranch this weekend but unfortunately, it was not confirmed with the Governor's office. Therefore, it has been a relatively quiet one in Calabar - a walk around town, a trip to an arts & crafts store, another supermarket run and lots of World Cup quarter finals action. (Ghana was completely robbed by dirty cheat Suarez!)
Tomorrow is Sunday and the majority of people will be at church. I will be trying to rest as I haven't been able to get solid sleep and we have a big week ahead. I'm not sure whether that is a result/side effect of my anti-malaria tablets or just not being able to switch off mentally. The frogs and thunderstorms keep me company late at night. We have entered rainy season in Calabar . There's something inexplicably calming about the monotony and solitude in listening to the rhythm of the rain beating against the roof and windows.
