The exploration(1)

Once upon a time, I felt homesick and bored and decided to have some fun by exploring some of the beautiful scenery that Ghana has to offer but unfortunately for me, My friends and I were able to visit only few of these captivating places. Maybe you should try it when you feel depressed, it might help you!!
Truly, there is a lot of places in Ghana to help you enlighten yourself about Africans.

Path leading to the boti falls

 No doubt about it, Ghana has got magnificent places that will refresh your mind, make you feel at home and for a while make you free of the troubles at home and at work.

Cape Coast Castle

 Some the places we were able to visit included Akaa falls, Boti falls, the Cape Coast castle. Boti falls, for instance has the snake palm tree thus a palm tree that looks like a snake and an umbrella rock.

The Akaa falls has ancient rocks that has fascinating stories behind it. Stories relating to where ancient spirits were believed to be residing.

Not to talk of the Cape coast castle that has the historical stories of how our forefathers were treated as though they were less than humans.
The  castle holds the pitiful story of slaves and how they were put in dungeons and sold to fellow human beings like inanimate objects.
































If you look closely at the picture of the rock here, you can see that there is a footprint engraved on it.
As you can see, it does not resemble a normal footprint of human being but looks  extraordinary.
This footprint is believed to be the footprint of some spirit that once lived in the vicinity.
He was believed to have left his footprints when he was migrating to another place.
This stone engraving and many others can be found at the Akaa  falls.

When we visited the Akaa falls, I noticed that it had not being discovered by the government.
It was the locals that showed us around.
That I find very sad because I think a lot of revenue could be gained if we invest in our tourism industry.
Nonetheless, it was exciting for us.





Few other places we planned on touring but were not able to included the Kakum national park, the Wli falls in the Volta Region, the sword of Okomfo Anokye which according to history has not being removed since it was thrusted into ground by the Fetish priest himself.


I hope to someday bring you all the other gist from subsequent tours that I may undertake, so watch out!!!
