Atlantic Coast

After the village, I hooked up with Justice again and we went to the coastal town of Cape Coast. The largest of the slave forts is located here. Many such forts dot the coast of Ghana, but this is the biggest and best preserved. This is also a big fishing village, so there were many boats and people at the beach.


Jessie joined up with me and Justice in Cape Coast. We went to Kakum national park, which is a rainforest preserve.
It is best known for the rope suspension walkway that is built in the canopy of the trees. It was basically an aluminum ladder with a wooden plank on top of it, and a rope enclosure to walk thru. 300m long and 65m in the air. My knees were shaking, but somehow we all made it across.

As a gift to Justice and Jessie for being super guides, I was taking them to see the solar eclipse at a great beach resort. Busua is the beach village where the eclipse first hit land in Africa. It was a beautiful place with clean beaches, wonderful swimming pools and great air conditioning.
Justice's friend Maxwell also joined us here in anticipation of the eclipse.
