Pics from Busua Beach and the Nzulezo Stilt Village

I love this beach, the sand feels like you're walking on chocolate. The beach was very clean and the water was perfect. I wasn't nearly as rouch as it was in Ada Foah.

Joseph, one of the local kids collaborated with me on one of my drawings in the sand. I also got him to draw random stuff.

That's Joseph...

I was really lucky to have a whole bucket of fish right behind me in a Tro. I believe I  mentioned on another post how hot it gets inside, especially when it doesn't move.

Next day we went to visit the Nzulezo Stilt Village, I've never seen anything like it before. The whole village (450 population) is on water.

School Bell...

The house on the left is the guest house we stayed in.

This is the room we stayed in, covered in newspapers and no mosquito nets, so I drenched myself in bug repellent spray.

Scenery from the canoe ride to the village.

Aba-Vivian, she couldn't get enough of the camera and my sunglasses.

Saw some beautiful lilies on the canoe ride to the village.

This is the main street in the village.

Drinking Plam Wine, it was pretty good!

One of three classrooms in the village.

Just some local pics...

This is a Tro Tro....I'm still having fun riding it.

Inside a Tro, usually very hot, the door is attached by rope, it's not anything like the TTC. It's definitely more fun that's for sure:)

My house mates at Enigma a local bar across the street from us.

Local Chop bar I sometimes have lunch at before my afternoon session.

First Soccer Match

The Cantonments (red and white) is the soccer team I train. This was their first game of the season.

Ada Foah

This was my first travelling trip on my second weekend. 21 of us (volunteers) drove 2 hours in a Tro to this beautiful place. There was a lake on one side and the ocean on the other side. The hut we stayed in just had a bed and a mosquito net.

Ada Foah Intro: Ada Foah is a town in Ghana, Greater Accra Region, at the seashore along the road from Ada Kasseh, just off the Accra-Aflao motorway. It is located along the Volta River and the Volta River Estuary with many islands and river arms and the Atlantic Ocean. Ada Foah is the capital of the Dangme East District and the seat of the District Assembly.

This was the hut I stayed in. Each door had a different country flag. They also had a Canadian door but someone got that before me.

My "starbucks" coffee...
