Camping at Lake Volta, this place is a real gem

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

Early morning visitors

The sweet kids paid me a visit again

Canopy walkway in Kakum National Park

Walking via the canopy walkways so you can experience the upper layers of the rainforest

Ouch! Not a tree to climb in.

Again an amazing tree, this one looks like a tropical flower

A very, very odd tree

The processing of drying cocoa beans

Walking to the place of birth of the guide Stephen. A small village close to Bomama

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

Foodstall on the street

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

The kids were very happy with their new inhabitant
