ON OUR WAY FOR A WEEKEND AT KOKROBITE BEACH IN GHANA

We made a stop in a town named NKAW KAW for a few volunteers to change their money on our way to Kokrobite Beach .
We had to drive on dusty pot-holed roads for about 5 miles,i have never
experienced a journey like it in my life !
The Transit Van we were travelling in would go from side to side on the road trying to avoid the traffic heading our way and pot-holes in the road that were sometimes as much as a foot deep and a foot wide ,certainly felt like it !
The Ghana people would line the route with water,fruit and other foods to sell all carried on their heads ,they also had pictures and even music systems and TV`S lined up on the dusty roads as you got nearer to Accra .
We finally arrived at the Dream Hotel (very funny)where we were staying with headaches ,it certainly wasn`t a dream hotel but it did have a loo that flushed and running cold water from a tap and the shower !!!

THE SCHOOL TOILET

A photo below of the school toilet which was a hole in the ground and full of maggots crawling around your feet while you were squatting !!!
The children also had to buy newspaper from the school to wipe themselves :(
