Accra

The heat is just overwhelming in Accra. What with this and the tiny clammy room  with fan we took at The Lemon Lodge we were in for a pretty grueling 3 days. Somehow I think we thought that because we were in exotic Africa there would have to be insects & bugs crawling over you at night. We learned gradually that this is not the case & that you can have a full night's sleep with no bugs or mosquitos touching you. 

We spent 3 days in Accra tramping the hot dusty streets. The whole ordeal was not that appealing as an introduction to Ghana, & we were keen to find the bus stop in order to move on.

We took off to Kumasi on an air conditioned bus (only 1 1/2 hrs late in leaving) & had a very bumpy 5 hr ride to this lovely town. 

                                          

Always weird to see xmas trees in the searing heat

This room turned out to be the most disgusting room we stayed in Ghana. Roaches ran into my bag on the chair & huge insects scaled the walls
