Memorial Elmina


Memorial Elmina, ursprünglich hochgeladen von oliverbertram2009

Visiting Elmina Castle is a quite touching experience. A very eloquent tour guide took us though and found a quite touching way of describing the cruelties of slavetrade. I admire the ghanaen people that live with this sign of oppression and keep it the best-kept place in the whole town to make the world remember the history.

Well, most of the time there was enough space on the beach, unlike Jesolo. ;)

This fishing technique can be see everywhere in Ghana. Nevertheless it did not seem to be very efficient. After a couple of hours the poor fisherman went home without a dinner.

Farmer brings wood into the village

During the whole day the beach is a busy traffic way. Farmers bring their products to the small village, in this case wood, probably for cooking.
