This post might distress animal lovers. I’ll italicise sections you might want to skip if a graphic description of animal sacrifice would disturb you. Photos and videos are here (there are a couple that might disturb animal lovers if you look too closely, and I’m not talking about the snake) The Voodoo festival at […] The full set of Togoville photos can be found here We started the day in Lome at an art gallery put together by a Swiss collector. It is housed in a grand house (not quite a mansion) which had a very tantalising pool in the backyard that was sadly off limits. The art came […] View more of our photos from Koutammakou and Kara Getting on the bus north the following morning was a much smoother experience. The bus was like a Sydney commuter bus but with the middle doors roped shut and the alcove near the door used to jam extra bags in. To get on and off […] Full set of photos from Lome It’s amazing that Togo can have such a different feeling to Ghana. They right next door to each other and speak a common African language but when the colonial powers were carving up Africa the United Kingdom got Ghana and the French were given a little slice called […] When you’ve crossed a land border in Israel the West African version is somewhat underwhelming. We got to the border in another tro-tro, this one ruthlessly fast but safely driven with no air-conditioning but plenty of air-cooling coming in the open windows. We were deposited in Afloa, the tro-tro station being a convenient walk […] View all the photos from Kumasi and Lake Bosumtwi We had to celebrate New Year’s Eve somewhere and owing to circumstance we ended up in the centre of Ghana in a city called Kumasi, core of the Ashanti kingdom. While staying near the beach for eleven nights we had developed a habit of going […] View all the Cape Coast photos Travelling in the developing world is never a totally relaxing experience, especially when the tro-tro transport have window stickers proclaiming their trust in God to look after them (I prefer not to overtake on blind corners, leaving it to divine intervention to sort out – if there is […] See all the photos from Fantas Folly When we started ringing around from Accra for places to stay on the Ghanaian coast over Christmas things did not look promising at first. Many places did not have the ten days in a row we wanted or bumped up the price to huge levels over the […] The full set of Accra photos are here After a brief overnighter in Dubai, which seemed ridiculously modern and comfortable after Jordan, we flew into the heart of Africa. Well, not the heart exactly, a little more to the west and on the coast to the capital of Ghana, Accra. For those that have […] Any land border crossing with armed soldiers is not going to entirely relaxed but our journey from Israel back to Jordan had an extra twist thanks to the slightly crazy Palestinian taxi driver who took us across. The guy is a born actor. He put on a perfect Australian accent for us (no wuckin’ […] |
