In which I learn to ride a scooter...

 

The 12^th, 13^th and 14^th August, allocated for motor bike training, have not been easy!  It became obvious on day 1 that I was not a natural, even reverting to a scooter with automatic gears.  Why? Fear!

However, with a little lesson adaptation, lots of encouragement and a certain degree of determination, I now have a certificate rendering me competent to handle a scooter.  It will take a whole lot more practice to make me confident and comfortable!

Packing the gear…which boots do we use for riding a motor bike?  We are complete novices!

 

 

Well at least we got this right!

 

After the training. Phew!  The look of terror is beginning to fade.  Paul is all smiles…he loved the experience.  Well, he has been pedalling a push bike for 30 years!                                                                                     

So here are just a few of my cuts and bruises!

As part of our preparations for going to Ghana, I am learning to use my new blog and advertise it.  Save it in your favourites: there will be interesting things in future!

You can find a map of Ghana here.  We will be in Zebilla, near Bolgatanga in the north.  For those of you who aren't sure where Ghana is, have a look at the map of Africa.
