Ghana is celebrating its independence today. This West African country has a population of 21 million people. It is twice as rich as its poorer neighbours, but it is still struggling economically. Ghana is an important country for every chocoholic. Ghana is not only one of the leading cocoa growers, but it is also growing some of the best cocoa in the world.
On March 29th it will be possible to experience a total eclipse of the sun in Africa. It will, however, only last for a few minutes. The eclipse will arrive from the Atlantic and hit Africa in Ghana. The eclipse will then travel through other African countries until it reaches the Mediterranean at the Egyptian coast from where it will continue to Turkey. The Guardian recently published an article about the eclipse and about Ghana. According to the Guardian, Ghana’s rural areas have more charm than its cities:
“The low-rise, laid-back, traffic-choked capital of Accra has an abundance of good restaurants, well-stocked shops and comfortable hotels. Somehow, though, the city fails as a tourist destination. It might be the garbage, or the open sewers, or the general lack of cultural highlights. But the best of Ghana lies outside the capital in any direction.
The beach town of Anomabo, about 2.5 hours west of Accra, is a budget-friendly tropical paradise for tourists. Anomabo itself divides cleanly into two realities: a beach resort featuring soft white sand, coconut palms and lobster dinners; and a struggling fishing village featuring some of the most interesting shrines in Ghana.
The friendly, comfortable Anomabo Beach Resort lies on a pristine stretch of coast with nothing but the occasional fishing boat blocking the view of the horizon. The brightly painted wooden sunbeds are the perfect spot for relaxing with a pair of solar safety glasses and enjoying the eclipse, which will pass over at 9.10am, lasting just over three minutes at Anomabo.”
