Military Academy

Well, Monday was the last day of tours. We have other things scheduled for Tuesday but no tours as such.

We started the day touring the Military Academy Training School. This is where almost all of the training for the Ghana Armed Forces takes place. We started with the usual Powerpoint presentation explaining the many courses they deliver and then we were shown some of the equipment that they train their soldiers on. After a very nice reception, we then boarded the bus and returned to the African market from a few days ago so we could do some last minute shopping.

Then after lunch we came back to get our swim gear and we went to the British High Commission for some swimming in their pool. After getting through the usual heavy traffic in Accra though, we only had about an hour but it was still nice.

The rest of the night was off because we have to have breakfast at 0600 tomorrow to meet the Minister of Education on time.
