The morning started very early today…5AM. We were headed to Cape Coast for the weekend. Rick, Amo and Janine were very excited. We hit the road and drove about 4 hours. When we arrived, our first stop was the Cape Coast Slave Castle. We were planning on meeting Rick’s friend Richard, so to kill some time we walked along the beach and took lots of pictures. Shortly after, we met Richard and his brother Paul. We went into the castle. We chatted about the slave trade, and really began to understand the emotion of the place. After our tour and a lot of picture taking, we drove to Kakum National Park. There we hiked up a steep incline, then made our way across 7 suspension bridges, the highest point of 45 meter. Janine and Rick had no problem with the height; Amo was nervous at the first bridge but was fine after it. Richard and Paul were chickens but they finished it and we were all happy! On the way back to the Coconut Grove Hotel, we stopped at a Crocodile Park. Rick and Janine had pictures taken with them, Janine even sat on one! We arrived to the beach resort, said our goodbyes to Richard and Paul, after sharing a glass of Palm Wine (ew!). We had our dinner, which was very yummy and listened to the live music. We then left shortly after. Rick stayed up and emailed back home, Amo wanted to see Janine take out her contacts, and then everyone went to bed.
