The Canopy Walk at Kakum National Park, Cape Coast

These next few posts document a variety of things... in the wrong order, you'll have to bear with me as I grapple with the photo function. To start there is the night in the Kakum rainforest, then our trek to Cape Coast, and finally a few pics of where I live. Enjoy!
Our night in the Rainforest



This is actually the morning after, but it gives you a good idea of the small space we were working with. Above we strung two mosquito nets, and slept on that wood floor you see - NOT the most comfortable.


Sleeping like sardines, head to toe - note my colourful pink socks! Shanika (UK), Linsday (feet), Trish, and me. There are also two more people who were sleeping there, but you can't see them!


The canopy walk! AMAZING!


A few more pictures of the same... definitely a sight that makes you a bit camera happy.


The rainforest in the morning is amazing, even if we didn't see any monkeys.






Okay, this last one is for good measure, and it is very tempting to make up some story about how we saw this croc on our walk... unfortunately (?) that was not the case. We had lunch at this cottage with loads of crocodiles in the "moat" beneath the cottage... this was one of them. Apparently they are rather tame.

Hey Laurie, those are some sweet photos! I especially like the jungle pics and the crocodile. "Rather tame" - for a crocodile....
