pleasant sun greets us - yes, it's our first day in Ghana! After breakfast (coffee, tea, jam, two toasts, there was no English omelette - who was in Equatorial Africa knows it:)) we go to explore the city.
Accra is a typical town, like many others in equatorial Africa. See, however, that Ghana is a country richer than others in the region - on the streets see new models of Volkswagen, BMW, Toyota, and their blades do not sit with the people of Europe. What strikes is significant social stratification - see lot of people very wealthy (May these good cars, are dressed differently than most, in the supermarket buyer - of which there are only a few - benefit from a decent reatauracji), but walking down just before we found ourselves too the slum area - the crumbling houses of boards, powybijane windows, firing the houses, running children's goals, and it all sunk in the mountains of garbage. Along the way, we also young men - about 25-35 years, who sell everything that is possible - watches, sunglasses, recharge the cells, etc. We are talking with them moments. It turns out that they are from Liberia and Sierra Leone, where a few years ago broke out internal conflicts. Over 100 thousand. men then fled to Ghana. Some of them decided to stay - live at the camp about 30 km from Accra III, do not have and can not have citizenship but do not want to go back to their countries. So sell everything possible to earn on food.
the afternoon we stroll along the beach on the Atlantic coast. It's strange how the city of 1.5 million, but it is nice weather, despite only a dozen people. Walk, exercise, play soccer. Around of loose garbage everywhere (unfortunately the local landscape, and at moments that appear inscriptions "Keep you clean city" and others like that does not help.) Baggage
R still has no airport and no knowledge When will (
