Accra Guest Houses - Reviews and Rates

hey! ok, well I got here, just about. I left home 9.30am on friday 19th and got to Accra airport midnight last night. Word of warning: dont fly Alitalia! not that that will be much of a choice soon when they go bust. After our little sleep over in heathrow we flew to rome and all was fine except some funny noises on take off, a missing seat or t...

Dream Rating:   ; ; ; A Background I began the day early by accompanying James to the Togolese embassy. It did not open until aft** the Am**ican embassy, so I took a taxi th**e to get extra pages added to my nearly full passport. The process was straightforward and took less than an hour. I returned to the Togolese embassy wh**e James had dr...

There is so much to write. So much I've written. ... but I'll just speak of Accra.. I fell in love with Accra nights. Nights always come as a relief. Days are stagnantly humid - seem to always be full of sweat, work, and movement. About five pm, when the sun begins to fade, the day begins to take on another feel. Evenings with no power where you...

Zivjo! Midva sva ziva in zdrava vceraj zvecer prispela v Accro. Na carini cudnim vizam navkljub problemov nisva imela. Na letaliscu naju je pricakala Sara (Slovenka, ki se je porocila z Gancem in sedaj ze tri mesece zivi v Accri) z druzino. Takoj so naju odpeljali v lokal na pivo, tako da je bil tokrat zelo topel sprejem. Danes sva se malo potep...

For all of March and April it was 120 F ev**y day. Now it is cool enough to sleep indoors and drink our hot Milo in the morning. Joe has been working hard to prepare our garden with c...

Next stop - to the beach! Sylvester took us to the Coco Beach Hotel and we walked through the grounds, past a small pool, a live band, and down the steps to some very rough water and dirty beach. I asked Sylvester to take our picture and as he was doing so, the batteries fell out of the bottom of the camera. I ran and put them back in and hurrie...

A lot of Christmas bureaucracy meant we ended up xmas and new year in Ghana trying to get visas for Togo and Benin. Busua beach for xmas and spit roast pig, then back to Big MIlly's for New Year. With many a trip to Accra and Ryan's Bar and obviously Nando's for the best pizza in the world ever!

Ghana was vibrant and beautiful. I'm sure I wrote in a journal about Ghana so I'll dig up my travel writing and post it on here eventually. Ghana was what I imagined of West Africa...women balancing bundles on thier heads and markets full of people selling anything and everything. What I remember most is the spicey smell in the air when I first ...
