Pedu Guest House Cape Coast

... a Ghanaian friend and it took about an hour or so before we eventually found each other. <br><br>This is what happened within that hour or so:<br>An old woman had came up to me and starting telling me what the festival was about. From what I gathered, (her English was not the best so there was a lot of smiling and nodding going on between the both of us)<br>Anyway what I did pick up was that It was a celebration for the people in the village to get rid of all the ...

... the bridge. <br>The bridges were probably about 20 or so feet long so there were about 7-10 people on the bridge at one time. So that meant that the bridges were swaying. (a little to much for my comfort hence the scariness) <br>Scariness included though, the canopy walk was incredible. Since we were up so high we could see way far out into the jungle. <br>AND. THERE WERE MONKEYS!<br><br>I saw 2 or 3 monkeys on the canopy walk. Not big chimpanzee ...

... on. <br><br>Side note: So far in Ghana I have noticed that there are several buildings that are clearly in the process of being built but also look like they have been deserted for quite some time. Seeing this and knowing that Ghana is so laid back I have come to the conclusion that if something is broke, being built or just needs some upkeep it is probably going to take quite awhile before something is done and it is finished, but that&#8217;s just me so far anyway.<br><br>So, at this hotel ...

... American equivalent the floor of a ****** shower. No toilet, no hole, just a drain. <br>I really wondered what happened if someone had to go number 2 in this &#8220;rest stop&#8221; because it would have had nowhere to go. <br><br>Anyway, when I came out of the bathroom there were about ten, fifteen kids crowded around our bus. Two or three of them ran up and took my hand and asked me if I had any pens from America. (at the time we were in a real rural part of the ...

... side by side, at the same time (picture two bands playing on the same stage at the same time). While it was a little chaotic, I was lucky enough to play axatse and dance as part of one of the groups.<br><br> On Sunday, after my morning lesson, I went to the shrine. As I learn more about the traditions, I am less bothered by the sacrificing. However, I still found that I needed to distract myself by playing axatse with the shrine drumming group. After visiting the ...

... This means that everyone is honking their horn and trying to get where they are going before everyone else figures out what road they are on. Sanga does an excellent job of manoeuvring in and out of cars, people, goats and the extra wide and deep gutters. <br><br>Around noon we arrived at Elmina Castle and took a tour. The castle is the oldest European structure in Africa other than in Ethiopia. It was first built by the Portuguese in 1482. The Castle was used ...

... called Elmina which is famous for its St Georges castle. One of the largest and best restored slave forts in Ghana and the whole of West Africa or Gold Coast as it was originally known. The tour of the place was very good. In fact I think this place and the rest of the slave forts should be a place of pilgrimage for all African people who are descendants of slaves. Its incredible to see the poor conditions they endured and the treatment they received. Photos ...

... after him! All the hip Ghanaians are doing it. Hair salons find this technique especially effective (Glory of God Hair Styles, The Lord's Will Cuts) though any business can use it. On the way to Accra, we saw the "God is Everywhere Wholesalers" (He gives discounts for mass conversions) and my personal favorite, "Christ Resurrection Enterprises." Can't get your Christ to resurrect? Don't worry, we'll resurrect Him for you! Specializing in second ...

Vill jag inta ha dom som vanner? Varfor inte? Alla behover vanner. Dom kan visa mig delar av Cape Coast som bara dom vet om, vi kan ata middagar tillsammans och kan jag fa ge dom min kamera, telefon, pengar, mitt liv till dom om jag vill. Vill jag inte? Varfor inte? Jag som ar sa vacker, rik, smart ...

Day 112.  Cape Coast, Ghana. Back in the land of e-mail.  It's been a while since our last chat.  But Ghana is proving the most frustrating country yet - th**e's v**y little to complain about! We know how much you enjoy our endless moans.  ...Well, I think we'll disappoint on this occasion. Ghana is proving to be an idyllic place by any standards, and c**tainly compared to some of our earli** exp**iences - Mali in particular. The people h**e are definitely the highlight ...
