Hippos
This was my first stop on the trip up north. We went on our hike at 5:00 am to see the hippos on the black volta river. This trip was the first time we saw savanna like areas. The south is more filled with jungles. The sunrise over the mountain was very nice. We walked through a village with a man fixing a fishing net. Fishing is the main source of income for the people living on the volta. The children all across Ghana love having there picture taken. The whole village came out to join in this picture in front of the hut. We hiked one hour to the volta were they told us the only way to see the hippos was to take a 5 dollar canoe ride. If I had known about it ahead of time I still would have gone. The fact that they drag us out there THEN tell us really irritated me. The hippos were kinda elusive. All you ever saw were the top of their heads. I got a pretty good view but not really any good pictures.
