Literally, as I sit here looking out at the Atlantic Ocean hammering the coastline.Its early morn 6.30am, muggy and humid. We are now on the tourist trail, an industry that the Ghanaians are trying to promote both because of the beautful landscape and the rich cultural history..We slept in individual huts, the girls sharing 2 & 3. Today we will visit Kakum National park and Elmina Castle.
Before leaving Bantama yesterday we attended Mass, the girls enjoyed the choir but not as much as the previous week. Then the long journey south taking in all the sights as we went - up through the mountains, past orange groves and palm trees, their nuts used to make oil and downhill again past paddy fields with people selling their wares along the road. You can identify the different land uses by what you see on sale from plaintain (looks like green bananas), to snails in their shells the size of a tennis ball, to rabbits and grass cutters ready for the stew pot, to terracotta pots made from local clay.
