Weekend trip to Busua
A group of us student just spent the weekend in Busua, a small village three hours south of Cape Coast.
We organized the transportation through the help of our manager who got in touch with two drivers who drove us there. As we were a big group, some of us rented an apartment and some stayed at a hotel, but because it is such a small town, it was only a few minutes walking between the accommodations.
We arrived around noon on Friday, so we checked in to our Airbnb and went to the beach. As our house was on the beach, it was very convenient to go there right away to enjoy the sun. After a little while, we walked over to a restaurant for lunch.
After a simple lunch, we returned to the beach. The waves there were a lot smaller than back home in Cape Coast, so it was way more fun to swim and play in the water.
Surprisingly, we had breakfast included at the house, so we started our day with a nice and long breakfast before we headed back to the beach for a few hours. After a few hours at the beach, we got some lunch, and then we went surfing. Well, I didn’t, but a lot of the others did!
Some of them had never surfed before, so they entered an introductory class, while others just rented a surfboard and headed out into the waves on their own. As I mentioned, the waves there were a lot smaller than in Cape Coast, but they were still very good for surfing. At least for beginners!
For dinner, we went to a nice little restaurant and ate chicken and rice. Later, we went to a paint and sip bar. There was also a big beach party that night that some of us went to!
On Sunday, some went back to rent a surfboard and catch some more waves, while the rest of us relaxed at the house or at the beach. After lunch, our drivers came to pick us up and drive us back to Cape Coast.
We had to leave a little ahead of schedule because one of the bridges on the road had collapsed, so we had to make a detour. After a long and dusty ride, we all made it back home, well relaxed and a little bit sunburned.
