After going to the slave castle the group went to a "botel" this was quite an experience as well. The accommodations were located on top of a waterway where crocodiles frequented. That night the group of ISEP students, including myself, were treated to a fantastic meal. I had three lobsters, a large side dish of joloff, and three spring rolls for only 19 cedi. The meal and the company was great and we had fun watching the Ghanian soccer team win its Cup of Africa match. The hospitality at the botel was very enjoyable, we were even asked to play the instruments that had been set up on stage so we could have more fun. In the morning we had breakfast and got to see some of the crocodiles that were around the botel.
The next day we traveled to Kakum National Park to walk in the rainforest. This was another fantastic experience. I was able to walk across seven small, but stable rope bridges to look at the canopy of the rain forest. The distance from the ground when on the bridges measured from 7 to 40 meters. This was another experience that was very unique and necessary to any individual traveling to Ghana. Overall, my trip to Cape Coast was unforgettable. I look forward to where I will travel next in Ghana.
