Ghana images – views from the hotel veranda

We stayed at Esther's place.  The following images were taken from the veranda whilst we waited for various appointments.

Ghana images – Kokrobite Beach

During the 2005 trip to Ghana, we spent time at Kokrobite Beach.  It is a magical place.  We were there on a public holiday due to the independence day celebrations and the beach was full of families and body boarding surfers.  It was a beautiful day which I will never forget.
