Oliver checking out the weapons...
Looking at the village from the castle...
The village...fishermen enjoying the holiday...
Looking at the village from the castle...
The village...fishermen enjoying the holiday...
A young girl selling bags of drinking water beside the castle...
Fishermen fixing their nets...
The entrance to the male slaves dungeons...a dark damp and sad place...
The door of no return...from here the slaves would head to the ships...never to see Ghana again...many slaves died before they even left the castle and even more died on the ships before they reached South or North America...
The hallway leading to the door of no return...
Charity among the cannons...
Palms of the village beyond the castle wall...
In the courtyard of the castle...
Everywhere you look Ghana is preparing for Obama, he will arrive next week and here we see men painting the cannon balls...(we have also seen teams of men painting the curbs white on the streets of Accra where Obama will pass...it is a huge undertaking because they don't use sprayers...they use tons of young men with paintbrushes...painting several kms of road)
Men painting the side of the castle for Obama...
In Cape Coast they make Fante Kenke...Fante is the language of the area and their Kenke is made of fermented corn...they wrap the kenke in leaves and then wrap several together in blue plastic...the kiosks selling kenke line the highway approaching Cape Coast...
