Tuesday, April 5. After a night at the orphanage, Kristina and I go to Coconut Grove in Elmina to relax beside the pool for a bit. The sky is blue, the waves roll in making a nice sound with a soporific effect on our minds. Every time we are heated up by the sun, we let the water in the pool cool us down again. Freshly squeezed orange juice. Too good to be true. For lunch we have the special Coconut Grove Chicken Curry. Some more time at the pool, then we go to meet Hassan. He takes care of the horses here and Kristina worked with him sometimes. He already prepared the horses for a ride so we just climb into the saddle - not him, he doesn‘t need a saddle - and set off. I remember the basics of riding but I am glad I don‘t have to do much. Tiger just follows her colleagues. Along the beach we ride, with a great view over the coast and the ocean. Water splashes up our legs when the horses walk through the waves. The sun shines down on us. We gallop a short distance and I manage not to fall down. It is a little bit wobbly on the sand and the ground is a little bit sloping but I enjoy the ride more than a little bit. The one hour is over far too quickly.
