Today Emilie had to pass the whole day in the
guesthouse for recording data and preparing protocols, whist I needed to make
last provides and changing foreign currency in Cedi before starting to live in
fish-farm. I was quite unconfident and frightened about that, because being
woman and Owbrowny in this Country could be a disadvantage with less honest
people.
After all explanations, advices and maps given
by Emilie I did my first trip alone to the Accra Mall. I couldn’t imagine that
the journey could be so much relaxing and interesting! After leaving the Kpong,
the tro-tro slowed down because a large group of wild baboons was crossing the
road: for a European is very outstanding seeing wild tropical animals like
those outside captivity conditions and interacting with human life peacefully.
Once arrived to Accra Mall I had the time to
make some shopping, change currency, fix my mobile and have a very relaxing
African lunch eaten with hands.

On the way of return to Akrade guesthouse in
Pricon Lane, I had the chance also to see from tro-tro a crow going to a
funeral: all men and women that knew the defunct person use to dress all in red
and black, and also the place is decorated with drapes of the same colors.

After this journey I got more confident in how
moving in the crow, getting public transports and behave with local people for
enjoying much more this Country thanks to Emilie tour-operator!
