Coming to the UK

Saturday, 7 June 2008

Our last day in Ghana was busy! We were travelling to too many places, like from Kumasi to Accra, four hours drive. The roads into Accra were blocked, so we spent about two hours just trying to get into the city. We were lucky because someone helped us by showing us a certain route from where we were to get to the airport.

It was my first time at an airport and my first time to be in a plane. I expected a plane to be much smaller, but it was very big! As it ran along the runway, I panicked. It took off into the sky so quickly, all at once!

Once we were up in the sky, they gave us a pack to keep us busy, like pens, a book, a game and a bag.
