The other day I drove from Obuasi to Accra to return a vehicle I had been renting for the past couple of weeks. The drive itself is about 4-5 hours long and used to be an awful drive, the stretch from Cape Coast to Accra used to be treacherous because the road was in such a poor condition. I'm happy to say that the road has been completely renovated and is now in a first class condition. Additionally there are dozens more police on the road and highway patrol vehicles making sure people drive sensibly, this was something that needed to be done.
The route from Obuasi to Accra.
The best thing about the drive is the opportunity to stop off at a beach resort and stop for a bit of lunch and a break from the driving, it certainly beats the little chef on the A303! I usually stop off at a place called Biriwa Beach, but this time I thought I would try somewhere different and opted for the Anomabu Beach Resort which was very nice indeed.
The "Little Chef" Ghana style.

It's fun to stay at the...
The net being pulled in, I was going to hang around to see what they caught but I was told that they would be pulling it in for 3 hours!
There is a newspaper in Ghana called "People & Places", it is the Ghanaian tabloid and comes out every Thursday, It is full of strange stories of people turning into lizards and wizards flying in the night. I will get a copy next week and scan it for the blog!
