En route to kumasi 

To start the day, we woke up early for our last breakfast in Tamale. After loading up the bus, we departed for Kumasi. 

After a long drive with a few short stops, we were greeted in Kumasi by a great deal of traffic. This made our trip across town longer than we had anticipated. To help keep our minds busy during this long drive, we listened to music on a speaker and then started singing pop tunes from our childhood. 

Finally, we arrived at our accommodations for the night, the Davellen Hotel. After dropping off our luggage, we made another trip across town to Ike’s Restaurant, where we had our supper while we listened to some live music. 

Finally, we returned to our hotel and retired for the night. News in Brief: the newly appointed Yaa-Naa, Chief of Dagbon, is prepared for his investiture. Preparations for the event have been ongoing throughout the day. The Ghanaian Roads Minister laments that only 23% of Ghana’s road system is unpaved. Government officials cite economic issues and a large inherited debt as the main sources of consternation in making progress on road development.
