There's more to travel than seeing a city from the back of a bus, or grabbing some franchised fast food. It's about exploring and experiencing all that a destination has to offer. Throw away your map and get lost in a strange city. Find a restaurant filled with locals and savour a meal you can't pronounce. It's not about where you travel, it's about how you travel.

Not really as we were working but the night life is interesting very American, lots of jazz venues and strong Caribbean influences with Reggae etc.

Try the local West African food if you are brave, like Grass Cutter (boiled cane rat), Fufu ,Banku , Joloff.

Elmina Castle is worth visiting to learn about the history of the slave trade. It's further up Cape Coast on the road to the Ivory Coast. It's a pleasant drive to the Volta Region; the lake is relaxing and has nice picnic areas, but the drive is 2.5 hours.

We had a number of good meals. Captain Cook was excellent for seafood and had great fresh fish; red snapper, sole, prawns. But the most tasty was at a Lebanese restaurant that offered traditional meze, shashlik, shish kebabs, humus,pita bread and fresh chilli which Ghanians are fond of! Monsoon is another trendy restaurant with a sushi bar, late-night Dizzy Gillespie drinking venue and stylish seafood section.
