Spotted in Cape Coast: His Royal Highness

Akwaaba!

So, a lot of you lovely people have been asking, "Why Ghana?" 

"Why not New York/London/My House?" 

Well.

I hope this little slideshow is an adequate response...



The beach near Coconut Grove Resort.
Or the set of Muppet Treasure Island, take your pick.
 


Watching fishing boats from Elmina Castle.


You can't see them, but there are more crabs here than in bikini bottom.




Our house at Coconut Grove.
Also, incidentally, the residence of a certain member of royalty.


Yes, the Coconut Grove Resort in Cape Coast is one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

But it hasn't all been fun and games.

In between strolls along the beach, taking in the sights and slurping down fresh piƱa coladas, I've also been meeting royalty.

In particular, the Huge-Mother-Loving-King-of-a-Cockroach that popped by to say hi, while I was in the shower.


Nice guy....
A little too friendly.

Your Grace, you were truly impressive, and any screaming that occurred on my part was purely down to the sheer awe of your presence. And your antennae.

Welcome to Ghana!
