BUSHNOTE #1: Slaves, Castles, Voodoo and the Gates of No Return
Mima Ache! Greetings from West Africa's Gulf of Guinea where today the humidity is as thick as golden syrup and the sun struggles to shine through the Harmattan dust haze that blows in from the distant Sahara But there's a great atmosphere, music blares and there's a colorful New Years fancy dress carnival buzz in the streets as we begin the year with another Land Rover Living Traditions Journey of Discovery that this time is taking us from Accra Ghana, along the old Gold Coast dotted with ancient European built slave trading castles, to the most southerly tip of three cape points and then inland to the Ashanti capital of Kumasi, then north towards Burkina Faso, down the Volta, across Togo and on to Benin to document the annual Voodoo Ceremony near the 'Gates of No Return'.
Coupled to ongoing Malaria and Rite to Sight work it all promises to be another great odyssey and an excitingstart to 2017. As always we'll keep you posted with pics and scribbled Bush Notes from afar. Life's a great adventure.
