Ghana consists of ten regions.
This picture is of the front of Volta Hotel,located in the Eastern Region, some 50 minutes outside the capital city of Accra. It has won many awards, and is renowned for being the place where the President (John Agyekum Kufuor) has his retreats with cabinet.
Just a view from the hotel is this resplendent view of Akosombo dam, initiated by the first President of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah, to provide electricity to the whole of Ghana. I cannot resist posting up a picture of the dam, and of Akosombo: too breathtaking;-)
Volta Hotel is on a hill overlooking the Akosombo dam. This is why the picture looks a bit funny; it's because I took it from the bottom of the hill. The building is a view of the hotel itself. Try to look out for the video, which is a bonus:-) enjoy!
