I slept in front of the hotel here, Cape Coast.
I did quite some negotiating, the hotel owner wasn’t too happy with this bum standing in front of his hotel. When I made my breakfast that morning, setting up the table with my chair, he asked me to eat inside and not in front of his hotel. Fair enough :)
A bit later I ordered a breakfast in the hotel.

I was ashamed to be from Holland, after hearing those terrible colonialisation stories of the slavery

Visiting a primary school.
All the kids ran out of their classes to see the ‘Obruni’ (that’s how they call white people, it means white)

They go mad when they see themselves on the digital camera

After the visit they started cheering and dancing, an unforgettable experience

Driving back from to Domama, tricky road

Slowly driving and finding my way through the deep grooves

Camping in the middle of the village.
The kids wanted to see everything. The tent was checked by each individual too :)
