Saturday 9:00 – Private tour of Cape Coast Castle

As if we hadn’t done enough already, we decided to stop by Cape Coast castle on the way back to Accra. Unfortunately, the castle had just closed when we got there. Fortunately for us, we have Ghanian friends who were able to negotiate a tour for us anyway. This castle was similar to Elmina Castle in many ways, except it was specifically designed for the slave trade. It’s impossible for us to fully appreciate what all went on here so many years ago. We’re glad this place has been preserved as a reminder to all of us that we should continue fighting to abolish slavery where it still exists today.
