Midsummer in Kokrobite


During the weekend me and some friends went east from Accra, to the popular beach called Kokrobite. Here the local fishers and the tourists all gather at the beach together with the rastafarians - It is a really warm and welcoming area. 





Some of the nicest people I have met live 
in Kokrobite and I was very happy to meet them again. In the photo is Trinity and Joyce with Kajsa. Joyce makes beautiful clothes and necklesses and Trinity is the best in her class in kindergarden. 





The evening we arrived the hostel Big Milly's arragend a cultural night, however the rain was pouring down, very heavily, but the dancers and the drumm
ers kept going.. In Sweden this evening is used for celebrating midsummer and our original plan was to also do it... how ever it all ended with us having a icecream bowl together with some other Swedish girls, and the cheese and other midsummer food was left in the fridge..














I also met up with my old mates Mike, Eric and Paajoe.. and as always when meeting old friends, it just feels as if you just left, and it feels like nothing has changed.

Hopefully I'll be able to go back to Kokrobite in a couple of weeks..
