Thursday, January 26, 2006 Last day in Ghana, so some pics at last! Well here they are finally, a few pics for everyone to enjoy!!! The first is one of the wonderful waterways of Accra... trying to capture the bad side of the city but don't know that I did. Actually not starting to mind …
Not far from Luxor stand these two huge statues known as the 'Colossi of Memnon'. 3400 years old and don't look a day over 3350! And where I left a roll of film with 36 photos from Egypt never to be developed or seen.
This new/old series continues on from last week examining my first blogging adventure. Last week I reviewed my posts from the capital of Ghana, Accra. Today I continue on when I went along the coast a little to Cape Coast and Elmina, and ultimately back to Accra as my decision to go to the region …
Hey there, back on a Saturday again! This new series is not quite so new I guess. I thought it would be really interesting to re-publish the first blogs I posted, with thoughts from today, and add a few photos and embellish a little. I headed off to West Africa, which I have always found …

Foto Friday featured a shot from Elmina, a small fishing town on the coast of Ghana. When I visited Elmina I did it in an afternoon from the bigger Cape Coast, a short tro-tro ride away. Tro-tros are the local transport, like a mini-van in some ways, packed to the hilt, not very comfortable but …
This lovely little fort town is a hive of fishing boats and activity, yet laid back and relaxed at the same time.
Sunday Spotlight today returns to West Africa to the land-locked country that despite my trials there I still have a soft heart for – Burkina Faso. The capital city is the ‘fun-to-pronounce’ Ouagadougou, and whilst it is not a city with a million sights to see, it has a certain character that makes it a …
I promised myself I would lay off West Africa a little bit after all the stuff on Burkina Faso and the malaria, but well when I was thinking ahead for this week’s Sunday Spotlight, all I could think of was Accra, the capital of Ghana. Now, I have to start by saying I can’t say …
It seems suddenly I am writing a lot of posts on West Africa again! Oh well, this time I turn the spotlight to a little town on the coast of Benin. Benin is one of the most interesting countries in the region. There’s a fair bit to keep one occupied for a few days to …
