Post for Thu, 22 July 2010

Today we started out the day on the bus. We drove a fair while until we reached a place called Kloem Mountain. The schedule said "stop over". Apparently, "stop over" means "to climb" in Ghana, lol, because that's what we did. We climbed the mountain. It was more of a hike but it was a work out in pretty hot weather. Very nice view from the top and every one completed the hike.

After our hike, we drove some more and visited Akosombo Dam and power generating station. This station provides 65% of Ghana's electricity needs. The dam holds back lake Volta. The world's largest man made body of water. Interesting tour but a long drive. Two hours each way. On the way back we made a stop along the Volta River that flows from the dam to look at a bridge that crosses the river.

That was it for today.
