 This is a story of a three-day adventure. In this one, we rode mountain bikes on dirt roads, had a bonfire night, chased a beautiful sunrise, hiked to another village, and learned how to surf. All in this one big adventure you are about to witness. No crazy story ever begun with, and we stayed at home all day and did nothing. So, let's start from the beginning. We joined a weekend adventure trip to Putre and Busia, which was organized by Bike Adventure Ghana and promised three main things. Mountain biking, hiking, and learning how to surf. We left our crowd very early, followed the protocols, started the journey, and we set off. So, let's get to it. In this vlog, I'm going to try as much as possible to record most of the activities of the whole weekend in camera like this, instead of going home and, you know, trying to re-enact the whole story and sit it down and, you know, re-recording everything from scratch. So, we just arrived here. We're going to be spending about 30 minutes. This is our rest stop, and then we're going to head out to Rendezvous Point, where we're going to cycle all the way to Putre. I think it will be about 12 kilometers, but yeah, this is our first rest stop. I'm going to go, you know, get a snack, pee or something, and get ready for a fun weekend. It's going to be three days. So, yeah, see ya. Activity for the day, which is cycling from this particular spot all the way to the lodge, which we're going to stay at. So, I'm planning on actually enjoying all the activities as well, so I'm not going to be able to be filming this with my camera. And so, yeah, I'll meet you guys at the lodge. These are the bikes that we're going to be using. Trying to get a good one as much as possible, but we're getting ready to cycle. This is the first activity for the day, and this is day one. So, yeah. This is from the iPhone, so the quality will be different because the sound might be terrible. That is fun. It's real fun. Okay, so we're finally at Hyde Out, and I know he advertised 11 kilometers for the ride, but I sincerely think it's way more than 11. And, oh boy. Do this again? Yes. I don't think so. But we are at Hyde Out right now, and we're going to drink some coconut, and then we're going to get our rooms allocated and rest a little bit. I'm not swimming because I can't touch some coconut, and yeah, day one. Let's see how it goes. The Hyde Out lodge really lives up to its name. It's a hidden oasis about 12 kilometers from the town of Bokro. It has decent rooms and very regular meals, which I'd give an overall 50% score or two and a half stars. The meals especially could use some improvement, in my opinion, but the beach oof, the beach is beautiful and makes the trip very much worth your while. So we rested after the ride and had our lunch, and later we had a bonfire night getting to know the other participants who were on this trip. The morning of day two promised a breathtaking sunrise at the rock beach, and as tired as we were, we dragged ourselves out of bed at 5am to try and catch it. We woke up very very early to try and catch the sunrise, but when we got here, since we're not nature gods, well, we couldn't control that aspect of the weather and catching the beautiful sunrise. So that part was ruled out, but the shots here, oh my goodness, the shots here just amazing. I don't know why nobody has actually considered making a music video. I don't know if somebody has already a music video over here at this time of the day. It's just grayish blue and just moody. Oh, you guys, this is beautiful. I came here three years ago, but this time I'm coming with a group of people who are also really amazing, pleasant people, and I'm just loving it. This is day two in the morning. We all woke up to actually come and try and get the sunrise, but yeah, we ended up having more fun, missing the sunrise, but yeah, not missing it. They didn't show up as we wanted, but it's still beautiful anyway. So this is the guy who organized the trip, Kojo. Tell me, so how did you come by this, like, I don't get it. Okay, so I started with a group trip. I came with a group trip here, and I was like, okay, why can't I cycle here one or two days or something. And so on the next trip, yeah, by myself. Because the bus ride was like a little two-pass ride and controlled, yeah. And so the next time I did it by bike, and I came with my tent, and I camped over there. And from there, I walked over and got here, and I really liked the way this place is. And I was like, okay, why can't I share with the whole world, everybody. And one trip led to another bike adventure was born, and my friend Kwame is here today. And we are trying to catch the sun, the rising sun. It's so nice. That's why we are waiting. So the sun finally showed up, but while trying to get a time lapse, my Canon RP battery just came up on me. For day two, we're going to do three hikes, one to the Rock Beach, another to Ford Baton Stein overlooking the picturesque Butree town. And then we hike for another three to four kilometers to Boussia. I think the hikes were four because there was another one we would do at Boussia. Climbing up to Ford Baton Stein was a bit of a trip, but if I say the views were out of this world, I really mean it. And it was worth going up there. So we're on top of Ford Baton Stein. Whoa. Took pictures and enjoyed the view for a while, and then made our way to Boussia before the sun got too hot to hike in. So let's go and see what Boussia and Day 3 has for us. Boussia is a special place for me, and I'll tell you why very soon. But before that, we had lunch. After we had our lunch, we walked to another fort, which is Fort Metal Cross. And that was our last activity before Day 3, the Surf Day. So this is Day 3 of the adventure, and it's the final day. And the beautiful story about this particular day in the adventure is that I grew up, oh I stayed here for a little bit, and we left here, or my family left here, about 23 years ago. And today, I'm back on this beach. And it's a final day of adventure, and we're going to do surf lessons. So it's a bit surreal to be back here after 23 years. And the final day of our 3-day adventure, surf lessons. I'm not swimming. I'm not getting in the water, but yeah. I'll film it, and I'll show you. So yeah, stick around. So back was he teddy, the instructor was very patient and very detailed with his instructions. And after a few demonstrations, the crew was ready to get in the water. And I have to say that, yes, I'm going to make a full detailed version of the surf lessons as a separate video for all those who are watching this video right now, and are interested in learning how to surf. But in the meantime, let's have some fun before we sign out out of this video. Hey guys, so this is the sign off. It's been three days of amazing content. Is it content? No. Amazing experiences. The content is what you're watching, and I hope you got a feel of what we've been up to or did in the last three days. So I'm signing off because I told you before, I don't want to record anything external. I may do a bit of voiceover to add to it, but this is it. It's been mad fun. And I'll link back adventure in the description below so that if you want to join our next adventure, you can hit them up as well. So that's it from me for this vlog. Catch you in the next one.
