Visit to lake Bosumtwi

We needed a break from the buzz of Kumasi an decided to pay a visit to the nearby (2hr ride) lake Bosumtwi, where Marilyn has already been while volunteering here in 2021.
The lake is a 2hr ride with the taxi away from Kumasi and is in the middle of Ghanian jungle. Altho the ride has been very bumpy, we have finally made it (with way too many flights over speed-bumbs) to the serene nature around lake Bosumtwi. The lake with its hills reminded all of us of Switzerland, altho the fauna and flora was obviously very different!
We spent our time playing board games and reading books at the terasse, while enjoying the sounds of the jungle.
At night, Yasmin and Kamila even had some jungle visitors including a mouse, a spider and a lizzard. Altho Kamila has been a bit nervous about the fauna, Yasmin slept through. 👀
The next day, we have borrowed a kayak to explore the lake, but the water and all the warnings we got before our departure have left us leaving the lake pretty soon after we got in. Also: our paddling skills definitely could use some training… 😅
All in all, we were very happy to get a break from the city and enjoy the nature.
