From Akosombo to Kumasi
Today we are heading to Kumasi from Akosombo. Normally this would mean going back to Accra as there is no direct public transit between the two places, but Daniel has come through for us once again and has hired a van through the Methodist church to take us and all our stuff to Kumasi. It should take about 6 hours and will cost 455,000 - we gladly …
