Ok, so I'm going to have to start moving a whole lot faster with this whole blog thing, so be prepared. I left the town of Kpando to head for the port where I could catch the ferry. My semi-delusional hotel owner told me that the ferry would not be running today, but I'm fairly sure he was just trying to get me to stay another night. The ferry ran. I arrived at the small dirty port of Kpando Tokor and was almost immediately met by Abraham, a young kid who inv...

I left Amedzofe sans one pair of underwear and various other conveniences, and headed back to Ho to get some money and use the internet. From Ho, I had to go back towards Amedzofe to the town of Fume. From Fume, I would walk the few kilometers to the Mountain Paradise Lodge.

Greetings from Ghana! I arrived safe and sound on a pleasant flight with Emirates Air from Dubai. It was an odd feeling to step off the plane and realize that I was in Africa. Maybe I was just used to horribly crowded and dirty cities from my time in India, but Accra seems like an absolute dream. There are plenty of people, but unlike India, they all seem to be going somewhere, not just standing around doing nothing. My hotel is pretty decent, and even has c...
