We knew right from the start that it would be hard when Zach and Staci were due to get off the truck and leave us in Ghana. And it was. But we made it one hell of a celebration. For dinner that night, the 3 Amitos cook group took full advantage of the fresh seafood available from Abandze and started with an entrée of ceviche, 
followed by small lobsters, fish and salads for a main. Amazing. What’s more amazing is that I learnt how to scale and gut a fish!

And the most amazing was that their budget was only ever so slightly increased from our usual one euro per person per day (seafood is such great value for money here). The next morning the boys even managed to produce lobster rice cakes for breakfast! We were spoilt!
The highlight of the night in my eyes was when Dom presented Zach and Staci with a laminated proclamation, declaring them both Patron Saints of his Kingdom, Domainia (of which I am of course the 2nd citizen – my Secret Santa present).
We continued the celebrations with an impromptu truck party
and had an incredible time until it was time to say our (long, dragged out!) goodbyes the next morning. Josh was completely depressed and mopey for the rest of the afternoon and even now, it is hard to mention their names without eliciting a sad sniff from him! We love you Zach and Staci! xxx.
