Tree house experience

We were instructed to be at Kakum national park at 15.30. Then they told us that we could take the canopy walk by then with just a generic group. Our guide would join at 1700....finally he came close to six. It was already getting dark. Eben(ezer) -yes dear Ghana9 friends- guided us through the dark rain forest to the tree house then we relaxed another hour around the house and went asleep close to 2100. All around a lot of noise from crickets and like species. At 0500 this morning we have started our night walk. It cooled down a little in the night but it was still hot and close to 100 percent humid. Even to much for cigars....what about us? We have not met many animals. A small ant eater in the evening, a lot of noise of a kind of tree dog too many ants - also in our pants- , spiders, a baby viper of about 7 cm and a glimpse af a monkey, of which a group was crossing our path high in the trees above us.
Already early in the morning we were picked up by Richard. Around 930 we enjoyed breakfast at the beach in the lovely Ko-So beach resort in Empenya a few km west of Elmina. This afternoon we will visit the Elmina castle and market. One day to go. Tomorrow we have the final long drive back to Accra a visit to the market and my former collegue Kofi after which we fly back to cold and wet Netherlands.

 By the way ... do you remember the sclpute the guy was making at Hans' Botel?  Here is the finished product:
