5-7-2015 Trip to the Nzulezo Village on Stilts

We took a trip west along the coast. We picked up the Miles & Seeders in Cape coast and continued on to the village. On the way, we passed these cute boys cooling off in the river--they were excited to pose and wave to us.

We stayed part way to the village at Busua Beach Resort. A very nice resort on the beach.

The local people and sites were great. The kids came out to greet us.

At the end of the hike was an old slave fort. Fort Metal Cross at Dixcove. It was built in 1692

The village from afar. The village was settled as they tried to have protection

 from the kidnappers to trade into slavery. 

They settled on building their village out on a lake.

The people have farm lans across the lake they go to work and bring back food.
