This is the beach I just dream about - but no it is real, I have been there! The name is Sun Sand Beach. The beach was completely empty no other people (at least no tourist except us). I think it was because of the huge waves. But it was nice to have swim around, and end the visit by eating a coconut. Just taken down from the palm tree - by a local climber of couse

The guy who climb the palm prepare the coconuts - thanks.
I think he would prepare some crap's for us too, but we just take the picture.

We visit the Dutch ford "The good hope". The story about these fords are not nice, it was the last place for the slaves before they were sent to America - many of them died before they arrive in America. But it was a nice viewpoint to experience the different local activities. At the left You see how they move a boat up on the beach, at the right You see the harbour.

The main attraction for this rain forest is the hanging bridges, it is 7 bridges, with a total length around 350m and up to 80 meters above the ground. The bridge is set up on some large trees, we have a nice view of the rain forest and surrounding from these bridges. Click to view picture

After visiting the rain forest we go to "The Crocodile Farm". It is a little lake and in this lake there are a large number of Crocodiles. I was watching a bird, less than 10 meters from me, suddenly I heard a splash, and the bird fly away, a Crocodile try too catch it -  and I was scared. From that moment I was more prudent....

The last day in Ghana we visit Shang Hills nature reservation.
I will say about this: It more nice to be 2 meters away from a monkey than 10 meters from a hungry Crocodile. I will look some more pictures soon (I have around 1000 pcs from Ghana!) When I have some nice ones I will add them here.
