From Donyɛ to Lawra
/After a great stay at Donyɛ it was time for Mike and myself to travel to our next destination. Waking up around 5am, we packed our things and went to the shrine for the final part of the mwan goba ceremony, and a final washing at the shrine. By 6:30am we finished at the shrine, sent our bags to the bus and said our last goodbyes. We were able to board our tro tro with no problems, and had a easy ride to Wa. At Wa we ate and then proceeded to Lawra.
Lawra is the next city north of Wa and the host of Kobine, the first of three xylophone festivals in Ghana. Being able to attend these xylophone festivals was a large reason for traveling to Ghana. We arrived at our guest house in the mid afternoon. I had my first real shower since leaving the DMC, and it was fantastic. I was able to charge all my electronics, and take a well deserved nap. In the evening we had a nice cold beer and then some Indomie downtown. Indomie is a style of cooking that has taken Ghana by storm in the past few years. Instant noodles, which the term Indomie comes from are mixed with egg and vegetables making a delicious and filling meal! After dinner we headed back to our hotel to rest up for the first day of the festival.
