Ankasa = Hell

We went to a nature reserve today. A tro tro ride, taxi ride and walking 6 km later we were there. I was excited till we found out it was another 8 km to the campsite and we would have to walk it. AND it would cost 15 cidis a person to camp. We just stayed at a beach resort for 20 cidis a night, for both of us! No way we were walking 8 km more and paying more to camp. We ended up leaving and the guy still charged us 5 cidis for absolutely nothing. It bothers me when people expect something for nothing. He acted like he was doing us a favor by not charging the whole entrance fee. At least a nice guy picked us up on the way out so it saved us a lot of walking. If you ever want to go to Ankasa in Ghana, don't. It's a waste of time and money. Good news is we are heading back to Hans Cottage Botel for a few nights. That is going to be very nice and relaxing. The fried rice is tasty, they have crocodiles in the lake, the rooms are nice (especially for 12 cidis a night).
