Today, very early morning (actually late-night), getting up. Bus according to different versions of odjedza of 3.30, 4.00 or 4.30. We aim therefore to these first hour. The bus has already given us is in place (on the side opposite the post office, how does the way to the hospital), and beside him is issued a small table where tickets are sold, and a luggage tag. After half an hour those curls man portable money, people packed the bus and ride, trying to sleep. Departure time is draconian, but the trip takes place at night, so although it is not very hot (Ba! Even you have to cover to stay warm, it happened to me after the first and last time during this trip!). Of course At the entrance to Accra in August meczymy poltoragodzinnym traffic breathing exhaust (you can reduce the emissions in the air, closing the window, but then, in turn, also have nothing to breathe.) Despite this, the roads are around Accra and builds a dual carriageway ring roads in August next, the whole city and the entrances to the stands at any time in traffic. Like most countries in the region of the world, Accra, having 3 million people do not have transportation. To travel around the city, therefore, serve the private car (as someone to stand), taxi and Tro-Tro (mini-buses). As the society is getting richer and ever more people to stand on the car, constantly increasing number of vehicles, congestion and growing environmental pollution. Therefore, building roads and their expansion does not specifically help. In January 2011 a project was launched construction of Accra Mass Transport, the first in the city bus line. Starting its operation is scheduled for 2012. Maybe it will improve conditions even though some (and time) of travel and reduce the pervasive smog?
In Accra, we have to be transported back in August from one station to another STC. This time, however, is easier, because first we know that we are waiting and we can prepare a second bus, which arrived too must do this, because this is his second base station footprint (it is not clear why this company keeps two stations, because of this on who goes, is only six courses per day, is probably some justification, but we can not to not fall into). Thus, already near 9 o'clock we're ready to leave the city. We planned to spend last days in Korobite, a small town on the ocean - only 30 km from Accra and the great smog, and though in a completely different world. Kokrobite is known for its hotels and tourist bases, of which close to the beach. According to the Lonely Planet board chose a place under the name of Big Milly's, recommended as a mecca for backpackers-ow (ie tourists / o with backpacks). Big Milliego imagined as a male over 50, managing a complex of bungalows in a nice African style, overlooking the beach. Well - the reality turned out to be a little different ...
place really turned out nice situated, right near the beach, area planted with palms and tall trees, providing shade throughout the day. The first surprise we had a meeting with the Big Millym. Now, after receiving the key to our house / cottage, a woman came up to us after the 50th and said: Hi, I'm Big Milly! Enjoy your time! And so we have found that stereotypes work in us the whole
According to our needs we fell cottage for 4 people, with air conditioning and bathroom microscopic. As per our earlier accommodation quite nicely!
However, information from Lonely Planet, that the Big Milly's was a mecca backpakersow not been confirmed. Most of the people constituted a youths from Britain, which came to warm the country (as in North Africa in January, however, is too cold) for the winter holidays. Everything in this place is organized in such a way that people from Europe had the impression (and mainly the impression) that they are in Africa, but did not have to give up the amenities / food / leisure, such as in Europe. As observed, most of them did not leave the village area (camp?) For the entire stay, moreover, how can you move around the country with a suitcase on wheels (a proof that this is not the place for backpakersow). So on the spot offered:
- breakfast of yogurt with granola or fruit (for Ghana rather little available, because it is difficult to buy yogurt, not to mention for his custody without a fridge)
- sandwich with brie cheese (it is already complete total)
- eggs with yellow yolks (Nowhere in Africa is not met, such yolks are always in Africa pale cream)
- burgers in bread with sesame seeds (probably imported from Europe, Ghana does not have one).
fact, the card B is also some local dishes, but those that most resemble the European kitchen (stewed beans in tomato sauce and fried rice).
to this almost every evening screenings are organized quasi-artistic, that is, almost circus performances by local youth (breakdance, juggling bowls, some gymnastic exercises, etc.) and concerts drumming. Impression during the folklore which corresponds to a junction with the circus.
Duuuzym plus is the plaza, which is located just behind the center's fence - You can get on it and jump sunbathe by the waves, but beyond that it is normally used as a berth for boat fishing and selling fish. Polow is done at night and coming back on the ice trail around dawn and in the afternoon, when the ice going back to the trail just before sunset. Then also you can buy fresh fish and seafood. This is accompanied by a magical sight - before the fishermen arrive with fish, an hour, a half before they begin to gather on the beach the people be willing to buy them. With every moment the crowd thickens, staring at the sea and awaiting the opportunity to purchase. After receipt of the person buying the boat enter the water and begins to slow rytulal bargaining and the collection of 'booty'.
last three days have elapsed We, therefore, of walking along the beach, sunbathing, diving through the waves, traveling objadaniu Aug. African food and visiting a nearby village to buy fruits and preview how people live. It was a good rest before going back, although not to the end just what we are looking for driving by on our trip.
