Weekend at Cape Coast


Beautiful sun on the beach. I spent over an hour watching the sky change..
Almina castle. The first castle built on the west african coastline, used as a trading post for a variety of goods and then turned into a slave hold where up to men and woman stayed in small rooms waiting for the ships to arrive to take them away. Horrific place to visit, especially the smell in some of the rooms.

A beautiful lizard.. love his colours.. he was really camera shy and kept running away from me.. but i managed to get a good shot

Cape Coast was a great weekend trip, actually it could have been a great week long trip. Rachel (my partner in crime) and I manged to get ourselves into one of the best resorts along the palm lined beach.. we spent the weekend visiting the castle, chatting with travellers we met, ate great food, went riding on horses early one morning, and had a wonderful long bumpy to get there (which was worth every sore min).
