Ghana 8 Accra to Akosombo Day Trip

We had a good day out last Saturday. Left Accra headed north east then up to Akosombo where there is a large dam. It retains the largest lake in Africa. Look at the map. Impressive or what....




Its only about 90 kilometers out of Accra but it felt like a different world.


Started off passing lots of small road side shops and stalls.






Nearly all selling bread.  Who eats it I did not know.  But I do know the monkeys eat it.  We got out of town and along the way stopped to watched the monkeys.  Some people were feeding them bread and the little fella's seemed fine with it all. So that explained where some, if only a little of it went.


All in all a good day out. Monkey watching, walk across the suspension bridge, which did seem to bounce around a lot !!!  Then Afternoon Tea along along side the Volta river followed by roadside snacks on the way back. Hardly a luxury stop but none the less fun.  The snacks we had on the way back we bought from a couple of ladies.  All they had were Kebabs. Think they were made from chicken gizzard which were served with some paprika powder and fresh sliced onions. That was all that was available. And we were hungry.




Then we stopped off to buy some fresh fish.  The sellers gave us a hard sell....  Even Wanna lost out on this deal !!!!! Anyway 2 kilos of Tilapia later we were on our way back to Accra.  Lovely day. Go again soon then make sure we have a few longer trips.
