Aburi Botanical Gardens

Long weekend - 3 days of fun in the sun. :)

Monday was also a free day - since it was the end of Rammadan - there are about 16% percent of muslim people in Ghana.

A rather quiet weekend which also qualifies as nice mainly beacuse we went in a small trip to Aburi Botanical Gardens. I was happy i could see some more of Ghana - Ghana is indeed nicer than Accra :) - they should really make some parks in Accra for people to hang out and enjoy - it is so ironic - Ghana is this green, full of wonderful landscapes country, but Accra doesn't really reflect that.

Anyways, Sunday we went to Aburi Botanical Gardens which is an hour or more of tro-tro ride with a transfer in Medina - North Accra. It was funny trying to find the right tro-tros to go from one place to another - we went someplace, we were told to go further, we went there, sat in the tro, been told to get down and sit in another one and so on. But we did make it to the gardens and had a nice day just walking around the beautiful nature, taking pictures and simply relaxing. The fresh air was quite a treat comparing to the dust and car polution in most of Accra. I cannot really complain that much since we do have a nice garden at our place. :P
