Way to Akeropom (Ghana)


On the way to Akeropom. It is situated at higher altitude about 60 minutes of drive from Accra (Ghana). This area is called as Mountains and I had entirely different thought about it when I planned to go there instead of Lake Victoria (Biggest Lake in the world). It was not that bad though but the Lake would have been a lot better.
