I'm falling behind, it will be 7 days as of tonight, and I won't bother writing up every day of the trip. But the third day was also a long one. We went to watch the containers being unloaded, at the Port of Tema / Ghana Port Authority. Then we went to meet some personalities in the e-scrap realm in Ghana (some by accident).
We thought we'd have time to stop at the Ghana EPA in the morning before heading to Tema Port authority with the USA reporter. The traffic was so tough it took nearly a half hour to circle the block looking for parking, and we were 41 kilometers from Tema, where the sea containers arrive.
There is a lot of open land (and wetlands, we saw fresh eels for sale by fishermen along the highway) between Tema Port and Agbogbloshie. You can experience the drive on youtube, compare Accra traffic from the 1950s, and even see about the big, big plans for a monorail.
