We returned briefly to Accra -- this time we took a plane (a short 40 min. flight) instead of doing the 7 hour drive again with enumerable road signs that read "Overpassing kills." We did overpass, but this time we did it from 20,000 feet.
We spent one day traveling to the Cape Coast -- a 4 hour drive (more "Overpassing kills" signs). Lisa read and needle pointed. I watched the road as the anxious back seat driver. Our driver was quite talented and experienced with the roads. His name was Samuel Adams -- really!
Sam suggested that before we visit the slave castles, we take an interesting detour to the Kakum National Park. The park is navigated by canopy bridges strung from tree to tree about 90 feet above the forest. We had a great time -- and got quite a cardiovascular workout since we first had to climb up a mountain to get to the first canopy bridge. Shown here are a few photos of our visit.
