Unbelievable, this
is already our second weekend in Ghana. Time goes by so quickly! This
time we traveled along Ghana’s
coast to Cape Coast and Elmina. Just to get out of Accra takes 45 minutes;
the whole drive is about 4 hours, depending on traffic. I never tire of
watching what is going on outside the car window. You can buy everything and
anything along those roads – most often though the street vendors sell water,
dried fruit, little snacks, khebab or nuts. As usual in West
Africa everything is carried on the head. Fascinating. I have even
seen a man carrying his suitcase that way. Image he walked up to check-in at the airport
like this!
We had previously discussed on how difficult it might be to carry stuff around on your head. Well then, I tried it! Quite heavy it was, but surprisingly stable.
After the visit to Cape Coast
Castle we settled into
our beautiful beach resort. Time for a walk on the beach, to play ping pong or
go horseback riding.
Sunday was time for Kakum National park and the famous Canopy Walk. This walk offers beautiful views into an area of the rainforest you cannot discover in another way - nothing for people who are afraid of heights, though.
