Frank & Nancy Cosway hosted a "Meet and Greet" for us at their place...it was good to visit with old friends...... One last shot of Tamale as we head for the airport.
Back in Accra, we stay at Afia Beach Hotel....it's right on the beach.....boy is it hot & humid here!!
Jim Mensah comes to visit Rudy...they have a"meeting" at the beach!
Supper at Papaye....hmmmmm good!......
Internet Cafe in Accra...I spent 3 hours here working on the Blog....(it was air conditioned!)
This store in Accra (used to be Kwatsons is now Koala) has anything and everything from cheese to frozen vegetables to select cuts of beef and chicken to sumptuous desserts! 10 years has seen improvements here!
There's a new hotel in town (actually it was here when we were here 10 years ago, it's just finished now. The Royal Palm...and it's huge. It has a Conference Centre, Casino, swimming pool, restaurants, beautiful grounds....we took a look around. They water their plants here and had beautiful bouganvillea!
Our last night in Accra, we experience Ghana to the fullest. Up to this point we have been very fortunate to not have been in an area that experiences scheduled power shut downs. On our last night our hotel has it's power shut down. This usually lasts until 6:00 a.m. The hotel has a generator but the A/C can't run on it! We lie very still all night but we're sopping wet...it's so hot and humid! (As I was getting out of my shower, a HUGE cockroach was making his way up the curtain...I screamed, Rudy came running and all I heard was loud banging .... he finally got it...YUCK!!! we hate cockroaches!) So needless to say we are not rested for our long trip the next day....... but such is life in AFRICA!
