ghana 2014 – tag 9
After the workshop Noah took me out to see the area. We walked to emancipation beach and I saw the sheer size of the lagoon, it is incredible.
To me the lagoon pretty much felt like a second ocean, just without the harsh waves. I asked some local girl if I can pluck a coconut. She helped me and explained me how to open one and well, after some hacking and slashing I had my first handplucked coconut to drink.
After emancipation beach we went to fort Prinzenstein, one of the “sightseeing” hotspots in keta.
Some local guy gave us the tour and it was quite strange to listen to him explaining the horrible history of slavetrade in the area. Honestly I have never felt so uncomfortable while sightseeing, hearing the stories and seeing the locations had some crazy effects on me that day. It was absolutely interesting.
