After arriving into Accra Ghana airport around 10PM, it took us about 2 hours to go through the process of being approved, finding our luggage and getting through customs. Because of the late hour, we had missed our local plane that would take us from Accra to Kumasi and needed to take the bus. We knew it would be a 5 hour ride, but we couldn't lose the day. I am telling these facts as a prelude to our chance to see the city and countryside at night.
Or was it? There was activity everywhere, the streets were buzzing, people were out walking ,making trades, selling goods, sitting along the roadsides.... you name it, they were there... the entire bus trip! Even at 3 and 4 in the morning, people were out walking.
Not only the pedestrians, but lots of traffic especailly trucks, busses, produce trucks packed, etc. They come from all directions literally and directly toward you. It seems if you honk your horn, you are good to go.
This is a very fast growing country bursting at the seams. We are so anxious to start.
We are blessed to be here!
