What if the window panes mist up from the outside in the morning after breakfast?
At first I thought, what is that? I know it differently, in our bathroom the windows always mist up from the inside after a shower or a long bath.
Here it’s the other way round.
Now don’t think I’m sitting in the fridge, I’ve set the air conditioning to a pleasant 24 degrees. Just enough so that you don’t freeze
Now in the rainy season, it is already so warm outside in the morning and above all so humid and steamy that the warm air condenses on the somewhat colder window panes outside as a haze.
Now in the rainy season, it is not less warm, just a little less sun. The temperature is unchanged at 33-35 degrees, the sky is mostly cloudy. In the afternoon – sometimes in the evening – there is a heavy thunderstorm with heavy rain. But the whole thing is over again after 1 hour. So it’s a typical rainy season.
After the rain, it’s a great time for running because it has cooled down a bit and the air is no longer so dusty.
I have now moved my running training completely to the golf course.
It’s less dangerous and it’s much less dusty because there are no trucks on the golf course. It is simply nicer to run on grass, and it is also better for the joints.
A bit of variety is provided by the pair of turkeys, the peacocks, geese and some rare chickens that also love the golf course. In Munich you have to go to the zoo to see something like that, here in Ghana it’s free.
So far I’ve only met someone else walking once. Usually there are only one or two golfers on the course. Occasionally someone from Samartex management; on Sunday I met Ransford there. He counted my rounds and at the end he told me that 7 rounds is a lot. Others, on the other hand, look at me in amazement at why you would do such a thing and run voluntarily, and then take pictures with their mobile phones to show their friends that there really is a crazy white guy running in circles on the course.
Admittedly, it’s a bit boring to run in circles all the time when the only change is whether you run clockwise or anti-clockwise. As long as I don’t find anything better here, I’ll stick with it.
