Life’s a beach

On Saturday evening I went down to the beach at Grand Bassam with my head of mission - over the weekend we averaged about 10 expats from various NGO’s. Lots of nationalities and lots of fun - mixed with a fair amount of shop talk too of course. The hotel is one that is generally used by us for brief R&R breaks - friendly, on the beach and good food. Being that it was a holiday weekend, the local town (France’s original choice of capital - although they changed their plans a few years later after a bad yellow fever out-break). Some interesting colonial buildings dating from the early 1900, many in ruins now, but some have been well restored. Got slightly sunburnt this morning - despite being under a palm tree and only being out for a hour or so. Should have known better!

Great picture. Sounds like your having a crap time, and wish that you were back in blighty struggling with the crowds at the DIY store (in my case - Mothercare and Toys'r'us). Love Croydon.
