A little tourist adventure

We left Akropong after the celebration and headed to El Mina Castle on the east side of Cape Coast - a 3.5 hour drive.

I think the group really had a good experience at the castle (look in the 2015 blog for my posts on El Mina). The castle was built around the mid 1500s and had been inhabited by the Portuguese, Dutch & British. The castle was one of the slave castles along the coast that were used for holding and loading points for slaves. it's a very moving and important experience.
