Next, we head to the busy Fish Market at the seashore, where fishermen can be found docking their boats and selling their catch. The final stop on day one of our tour in the late afternoon is at the Brazil House, where we learn about the seven Afro-Brazilian families who returned to Ghana in 1836 to settle.
The rest of the day is spent at your own leisure, exploring the culture and history more or just relaxing. We’ll stay overnight at the Urbano Hotel, which includes breakfast in the morning.
