free travel: takoradi





we took a 5 hour bus ride from kumasi to takoradi. tadi used to be quite the trade hub, the lone ranger outpost of the west of ghana. but these past 50 years have seen it somewhat diminished. i loved it. the city is not too big nor too small, and it's shaped like a wheel, with the market at the center and the main streets radiating out like spokes. i loved all the 3-story buildings, leaning with charm, and i loved the relaxed vibe. i could stay in tadi contentedly for quite some time. oh, corrie and patrick had quite the adventure (and had the whole market stirred up in a frenzy) selling tomatoes off their heads for a morning. that was exciting.
