The Bus Station

The STC bus station in Accra merely confirmed all my prejudices about road journeys.

It was chaotic. I didn't spend that long there but I'm sure if I had I would only found structural disorder beneath.

I want to go to Cape Coast on Monday. The 7am coach is full so the only one left is 4pm.

As the voyage will take around three hours. I'll be in Cape Coast at 7pm. Just in time for my evening meal. On Tuesday I'll be able to get up have a look around and then head into Elmina for Tuesday night.

This is the plan. But what good is that sometimes. I can't buy my return ticket for Accra next Saturday yet. I have to do that nearer the time and then of course it might be booked out.

This is starting to remind me of Paris. Strange that Ghana was once a British colony.
