Bojo Beach ...Probably the best beach in Ghana...








As a fashion stylist [yes this is one of my many professions] I’m always on the look out for beautiful locations –and I now believe that Bojo Beach –‘located along the Accra-Cape Coast road past McCarthy Hill and just 40 minutes from downtown Accra’ is probably the best beach –and one of the best locations for a shoot –in Ghana [please - don’t spoil it before I get there!]...xx

Tourism: The mosque at Larambanga


Why not visit the mosque at Larambanga, -believed to be the oldest building in Ghana, it was built in western Sudanese style in the 17th century and is carefully maintained by the local community. With its dark supporting wooden poles, gently curved buttresses and whitewashed exterior, it is a beautiful example of the combination of Islamic architectural styles brought by early traders and indigenous building techniques. Larambanga is also known for its Mystery Stone. Legend has it that this stone on the outskirts of Larabanga -always returns to its original resting place when moved, and -due to this legend the main road that runs through this area had to be diverted around the stone.
