Adventures of Mr Ziyad

The  most exciting thing about life is living life to the fullest and enjoying everything about it. Fuse an  element of insatiable curiosity and the spirit of adventure then travelling becomes magical.We  got introduced to the glitz,  glamour and the  fabulous life  in Accra  from all angles: from fashion, wine and dine spots, entertainment(cinemas, theme parks and more), books and stationery,  décor, interior and furniture shops, electronics, Gifts and  jewellery shops, health and beauty, internet, telecommunications  stalls, travel agencies, pharmacy and finally the place every traveller needs Forex bureau. Appalled and excited as we were, we literally took over
the mall.  Just as would think the  quest is over,  we were at  it again.  We  dropped off what we had bought at the hotels. Cleaned up, relaxed for some time then we got something to eat at another local restaurant. This time I had some fufu, cassava, gizzards, fried plantain and
gari.  For the drinks, I tasted palm wine, Pito(millet wine)  5% alcohol,  Akpeteshie(Local  gin) 40% and some Lamuji(ginger wine).  Afterwards, we  straightaway got a cab and  went to the local clubs:  Only to find out that it was a public holiday and clubs were closed at that time. This day was about checking out historic places in  Accra.  It was a day we got to  spend some time at the  National Accra Museum. Here we  introduced to objects of archaeology.  Then we got a  closer look at the ethnography gallery which comprised of chief’s regalia, stools  and pottery, indigenous  Ghanaian instruments, beads, gold weights, traditional textiles  and more. Samantha and I got ourselves a local mascot who took  us through another journey  into the real  Accra. In the process, we took local combis and had a chance to see  the state house where the former prime minister resides, The AU former  headquarters, and other magnificent architectural settings.
To sum up, I had an  awesome experience in Accra. I was akwaaba. Welcomed.
