Me Tarzan
Last weekend we traveled to the Cape Coast area, home to some memorials to the international slave trade, where you can learn some of the almost undescribably horrific things that humans can do to one another.
It is also home to Kakum National Park, which has one of four rainforest canopy walks in the world. These bridges are narrow, wobbly and, we were assured, perfectly safe.
The cynics among us (ok, maybe just me and Christos) wondered why you would do this walk except to say that you'd done it. There were no land animals and only a few birds on view from 40 meters up above the forest floor. These seven bridges stood only as a feat of engineering. Aside from the massive adrenaline rush, there was not much to recommend it. Which means that if you're in the country, you must, must go.
