Dear readers,


This entry will probably be a bit longer because a lot has happened in the last few days. We decided to take public transport from Winneba to Cape Coast and had a taxi driver take us to the 'bus station' where we got on a packed Trotro (Trotros are minibuses that transport locals from A to B for a small fee, around €2 for a 2-hour journey). Packed refers to both the number of passengers and the luggage, which was so generously carried that the trunk had to be tied.
