Accra to Kumasi

Ok, no voodoo today but we started the day with a trip to a coffin shop with a difference. Basically they do 'interesting' custom coffins. See the pix. Then off to Kumasi where we will be for a couple of nights. Only 250km but it took over 6hrs. Roadwork, extremely bad roads, some nice roads, traffic, trucks, chaos... You get the picture. A lot of the trucks are very heavily overloaded and very, very slow. Counted at least 20 broken down. The number of lanes of traffic depends on the needs of the current situation. It's very flexible. Organised chaos at its best with no aggro.
But.... Our luck ran out coming into Kumasi. Had to brake hard to avoid a truck that cut us off and got rear ended. Couple of cars involved I think.
Everyone OK but our driver was displeased in his quiet way.
The bus was not badly damaged and we were able the proceed to out hotel, arriving at 7:30pm. A long day, especially for Williams our driver. I think we are staying local tomorrow so he will hopefully have an easier day.もっと詳しく
