The Africa Rainbow Resort

BY EDMUND SMITH-ASANTE
Located a walking distance (before) from the widely known Busua Beach Resort is this one building resort with an intriguing name - African Rainbow Resort. Whenever the bigger Busua Beach Resort is overbooked you can always count on Africa Rainbow with its large Africa designed airy rooms.

A busy Dodi Island

The famous and yet very empty Dodi Island. Hope the island will be made livelier with some structures for the tourist before long.

This beautiful but uninhabited small island which I have decided to call Volta Island, can be found right in the middle of Ghana's Volta Lake. My camera lens could not resist this spectacular view.

The Grains Maid

Ghana's only cruise boat on the Volta Lake, the Dodi Princess, was in its early life a cargo vessel known as the Grains Maid, probably because it ferried maize and other grains from communities along the periphery of the vast expanse of the lake, before it was converted into a cruise boat.

Road Crash January 25

Some passersby looking on just after some injured commuters had been taken to the hospital

BY EDMUND SMITH-ASANTE

In spite of the worry that has been expressed by many Ghanaians about the INCREASING spate of road crashes in the country, especially since the beginning of this year (2011), the carnage on our roads seems very far from over.
Early Tuesday morning at 7am, this 207 Benz bus with passengers heading for their business of the day overturned at Paloma Hotel in Accra, injuring all passengers on board. It is still not clear what caused the accident but when I got to the scene just when the crash had occurred, passersby and the police were helping ferry the injured to hospital, while some of the injured were visibly shaken by the crash.
