6th - Stopped in Wa to change to local currency before heading to Mole National Park, passing through Sawla and Larabanga. A few people went for a game walk in the evening, while the others went to the pool. Martin and I managed to watch the Champions League semi final match of Chelsea vs. Barcelona at the bar, missing the football matches a bit …
Travelling to Kokrobite
I awoke to a stunning sunrise and got up for a fantastic walk down Busua Beach. As I walked east along the beach, the sun was just rising over the horizon. It was large and bright orange. Spectacular.
After breakfast, we pulled the downstairs lockers off the truck and cleaned them. Just before leaving, Maria, Talbot and I went to the …
The beginning of the big "M"
Unlike the stunning, tranquil sunrises of the previous two morning, this morning felt like I was being slow roasted in the tent!
At breakfast I got the $270 bill for the *****ian Embassy which I swallowed as there is nothing I can do about it at the end of the day. T.I.A!
After breakfast we wandered up tot he village to try …

This resort was super cute and definitely catered to Obrunis. It has lots of food selections and even a cocktail bar. Its self contained double rooms are cute, with one of the cleanest and nicest bathrooms I have seen since being in Ghana. Good price for good value.

After breakfast, we pulled the downstairs lockers off the truck and cleaned them. Just before leaving, Maria, Talbot and I went to the nearby St. Peter's Methodist church where the Sunday morning mass was taking place.
People were singing, clapping and dancing. What a happy service although I did not understand a word of what was being said as they were speaking in Ashanti.
At out lunch stop, I ate some beautiful octopus on sticks. Five sticks for less than one pound. Absolutely delicious.
As the hills rolled on, it looked like a giant monster had passed and bitten chunks out of the trees and hills. This of course was cultivated land but was quite a feature along the road to Accra. And on we went until our turn off to Kokrobite. This area shows signs of prosperity with all the houses with pitched and tiled roofs, manicured gardens, fenced walls and metalwork gates. One might have been in a South African suburb as be in one of the outskirts of Accra.
We turned off and headed to the coast. turning up at Big Milly's was so interesting. It was like being whisking oneself out of Africa. Lots of people around a courtyard of bars and eateries. Not so many smiling, welcoming faces. Westerners littered around the place! I kept smiling an saying hello anyhow! Yo each their own bit this kind of place is not really my kind of thing. To many egos. Too much tension. I cannot look back to Busua but it goes to show what a difference a day makes. Hey it's all good though!
