We woke up Friday morning to an overcast coast (surprisingly, reminded me of Oregon). Lori and Brad took off for an early run, as Molly, Alicia and I assessed our stomachs. It had now been about a day since Alicia or I had really eaten anything substantial, so breakfast was sounding like a great idea to me. While enjoying the roof top view and attempting to eat a meal, it dawned on us that Lori and Brad had been gone quite a while. It seems some how, their “loop” run turned into an hour and a half lost sight-seeing adventure around Cape Coast, ending in a cab ride back to the hotel.
Alicia, Brad and Lori then went to Cape Coast Castle. This is one of the old castles used in the West African slave trade that now runs guided tours to the public. One week prior, President Obama had visited and presented a commemorative plaque to this castle. They then met Molly and I at the Coconut Beach Resort. Here we all enjoyed lunch on the ocean.
That night, the fearless three, headed out to Kakum National Park to spend the night on a tree platform in the Ghanaian rainforest. Unfortunately, Molly and I were still not feeling great and made the executive decision to spend another night in the beautiful Sammo.
When in Ghana….
