Cape Coast

Here are a few pictures from the weekend we spent in Cape Coast. 

This is the canopy walk we took in Kakum National Park in the rain forest.  The walk was pretty cool, I would have liked to see some animals though. 





This is a picture of Cape Coast Castle.  We went on a tour of the grounds and saw the dungeons where they kept the slaves and learned a lot.  I was glad that we did this and learned a bit of history about the area. 





This is right outside of the castle, where they dock their fishing boats.  The boats are made of wood and we actually saw one captsize while they were trying to get out to sea.  There were big waves all day along the coast and it seems impossible that they make it safely. 


Waiting for food.....From left, Tess from Germany, Sara from Holland, and Celia from France.  We ate at this vegetarian restuarant 3 times while we were there because it was cheaper and better then the hotel restuarant but had to learn how to wait.... a long time!!!
