My Trip Across the Volta

My friend and I took the weekend for a little R & R after meetings and Drs. appointments in Accra.  We took trois trois to a small town on the advice of the drivers.  We ended up in a very very small fishing village.  The people were very sweet and helpful.  Told us no we were not lost we could take a ferry across the Volta River to get to the Eco friendly hotel we were looking for.  Ferry in Ghana wow how far is this place.  No No very close small ride.  No worries ferry comes at 11 am and there were 5 other people waiting for ferry.  Mother’s with small children, older lady heading to a funeral, lady carrying supplies home so we waited.

Yep this is the Ferry but look how beautiful of a day it was.

 

Yes, we are still in Ghana.  Beautiful homes, wonderful boats on the Volta.  We were so surprised.  The only thing I could think of is the Volta Dam is an earthen dam.  What happens……. no don’t go there.

 

This little job certainly gave me a few minutes of worry but everything was done like it had been done a 1000 times, just get the water out and keep going.  Oh My!!!

Beautiful beach with wonderful trees.  This is area where Volta meets the ocean.  It was such a wonderful day you could see forever. 

 

Our dock is straight ahead.  Notice the anchor!  We got off the dock yes a wooden dock found a taxi waiting and he took us to Meet You There hotel for 2 Gh cedis. 

 

The weather, view, so relaxing (did not think about anything negative), great way to start our weekend.
