Tema (1) - Ghana

This clip is one of three similar clips that I am uploading that is of the port-city of Tema, in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. The footage starts with the drive along the coastal road, and past the large cocoa storage warehouses, before continuing through Communities 2, 1, then ending as the vehicle is heading towards Community 6. Towards the end, we pass a school where children are playing football on a pitch, which is directly across the road from Tema Sports Stadium (this was on the opposite side of where I was seated in the vehicle, so I couldn't get it in shot).

I live in America (Houston, TX). I would like to visit one day

[Ghanapedia]

@MysticOcean2007 - hey, I wish I lived that close, Ghana would be around a 10-12 hour flight. From Australia, the quickest way I've found is via Singapore-Cairo, and equates to 23 hours of flying, and more than $3500.

I hope you get on a flight to Ghana soon, I understand that Delta fly out of Dulles, and United also fly here. I think the three US airports that have flights are NY, Washington DC, and LA.

Wow you really need transportation there.

[Ghanapedia]

@Djoanng - definitely, I am in Ghana now, and my car is getting the engine repaired at the moment, and I am probably spending about 50ghc a day on transport by the time I travel from my base near Tema to places like TQ Circle, Achimota, and Osu by taxi. Usually I am travelling with baggage, golf clubs, or my shopping, so tro-tros are not a good idea.

Hopefully I get a damage report from the garage today that is favourable, not excessive !

gas was 4.42 i think??

[Ghanapedia]

@206kent - at this time (December 2011), the price for super (regular) is about 1.50ghc per litre.

[MysticOcean2007]

@Ghanapedia thank you for the reply. Wow, I am fascinated because I never left the country before.

[Ghanapedia]

@206kent - possibly for a gallon, not a litre, even though most stations sell it by the litre. I just fill up every time.
