Ho (a town, not an order)

After a wrong turn in Tema we found our way north.

scenic view of Volta

We stopped at Akosombo on lake Volta for a portion of redred  and fish after looking at the dam. After lunch we continued of the nice bridge toward Ho. Redred as a dish with could turn out many different ways in general it is beans with 'stuff'. This one was rather nice. And that it came with aloco made me choose is. Aloco is fried plantain (banana) and could be considered my favourite dish.

the dam - couldn't get much closer

the bridge

Hazel wanted to buy the whole beads-shop that we passed in Kpong as the prices were at least half of those in Accra. She managed to get away with just one bag full, as compensation I had to buy a mask.

It is amazing that two people can fill a whole car; A big metal trunk from Kumasi, wine and cruesli from Accra and of course our fridge, kettle, tea and coffee. Our clothes seem to take the least space of all. And we still had a pottery to go to.

The hotel in the book has over 100 rooms, chances are there will be one free.
How wrong we were. A congress booked all rooms. In reception a couple we met at the Safari lodge was there and a bloke was talking to them. It turned out the bloke was the owner. He gave all of us a tour including the american that was building a statue of him for him. So: a very modest man. It has to be said that he seemed to know what he was doing, and he was doing well. He offered us a room in the annex, where normally his visitors and interns stay. We didn't mind.
