Okay… Well sorry about the last post, my computer died before I could finish it!
So I will explain the photos now.
So on the weekends everyone takes a break from work and travels to different parts of Ghana.
We take big vans called tro tros to travel around.
They are extremely squishy with sometimes up to 22 people in the van.
So I got on a tro with some people I had met for an hour 2 days before.
No big deal eh?
There were 5 Canadians, 1 Scottish, and 6 Americans.
It was a 2 hour drive to Accra from Koforidua, then 4 hours to Ada Foah where we went last weekend.
Loooong drive in a cramped van.
But it was fun!
As you can see in Ada Foah the Ghanaians live in mud huts right on the beach.
It was beautiful place to stay!
Of course the doors to each of the huts we stayed in had different countries’ flags painted on them…. Normal right?
I stayed in a hut with Switzerland’s flag painted on the door.
And shared a room with my new friend Sloane.
Saturday we sat on the beach and drank coconut milk from a freshly picked
COCOnut.
Then we had a little water polo type game against some rich Koreans.
The Koreans kept on making bets that the loser would buy winners one beer… then they upped it to 2 beers etc.
We told them we do not have that type of money… So then they said “Is okay we have lots of money, we buy we buy!”
So they bought everyone beer… and water for me!
It was pretty freaking awesome.
The second morning me, Sarah, Ashley, Mark and Kelly watched the sunrise. As we watched fishing boats were starting off their day so we were able to watch them maneuver from the Volta River to the Ocean.
It was awesome!
We all wanted to ride in one of their boats….
And so guess what we got to do?
Yes, you guessed right we got to ride in one of their boats!
A Ghanaian man offered to take us on a boat tour around the Volta River.
(The picture with people looking back at the camera was Bri, Sarah the younger, and Matt.
Where people are looking forward.. it is Mark, Sarah senior, and Kelly)
He showed us where all of the rich white people live…
Then he took us to a rum factory where everyone got a free shot of homemade RUM!
The rest of the group was super happy.. and I was ya know just ecstatic… you know me, bring on the alcohol! NOT haha
But overall the boat ride was great!
And then I made it home in time for dinner.
Trip rating: Fantastic
