Christmas in Ghana - Part 3

We spent a couple of nights in Ezile Bay, a private bay owned by a French couple who also own an inn at Busua. We fell in love with this bay. It was just stunning. Clean beaches, big palm trees, private bungalows. We didn't do much here at all - read books, swam, napped, and walked to the neighbouring villages. This holiday was the tropical holiday I have been dreaming about for years!

After hearing so many amazing things about the 'lobster' (small crayfish) we decided to splash out and treat ourselves. What came back was a dish that contained so much garlic it would have killed the entire Twilight crew. Glad we bought that dish. 

We took Neriah for so many swims. She seems to really enjoy the water, and the few times she took a wave to the face, she didn't seem too phased!  She got to experience and enjoy the texture of sand for the first time as well.

Here is our little $25 a night bungalow.

A lot of our trip consisted of this.

I love love love this photo! She looks like a 'Survivor Ghana' contestant

More swims - she took a few waves to the face and it didn't even phase her!

Ezile Bay is situated between two villages, don't ask me the name of either of them because I can't tell you that. We walked 10 minutes to one of the villages, where we met loads of kids who wandered with us as we walked through. They loved Neriah and enjoyed holding her hand and singing and dancing for her. Definitely the first white baby they had ever seen! This village was unusual for us as I was hoping to find some food (generally there is an least one lady selling rice and beans and plantain somewhere) but there was absolutely nothing. 

So, tired and hungry, we wandered over to the other village, which was a busy, bustling fishing village. This was a super cool place, with absolutely no order to it. We weaved and wormed our way through mud huts, random sellers, hair dressers, babies sleeping in the walking path and food sellers. YAY! Food in Ghana is so much cheaper than Nigeria and so delicious.

Caleb did a massive run as well, visiting Cape Three Points. I'm not too sure what Cape Three Points is about, but from the photos it looks pretty cool. An old lighthouse, one of those signs that points 'this was to Auckland', with the distance on the back (I'd find that annoying). Everything was very bright and colourful though. I'm sure Caleb had a great time.
