Buabeng-Fiema and the Monkey Sanctuary
Our backpacks are on the onward journey almost dropped, but fortunately almost exclusively. However, they are threatening much of the rear window crept.
We were well in time and would reach Buabeng-Fiema in any case. Buabeng is known for the Monkey Sanctuary (Monkey Sanctuary). It is rather an ape park in the forest. Locally in the guest house we found a few Canadian researchers. They had giant telescope-like Fotoapperate with him and lay in wait for anything that moves - so it seemed.
We are inclined to rest a little before us, the tour guide took us into the forest. I had just started to do laundry, as it suddenly became very windy and drove a thick cloud cover the sun. It looked a lot like rain. The tour guide came over and said that we should prefer the tour to move the next day. The rain
read not long in coming, and I had my clothes hanging on the bedpost in the room. My "pillow" was wet, and on the ground were already puddles. Pour it fairly and we took out a game which is Ben had bought in Tamale. It is well known among the Ghanaians, such as skating in Europe. We must move to a particular system of small marbles.
to late afternoon after the rain had stopped, we were on our way to eat something to buy. The kitchen in the restaurant wanted a woman outrageous price, so we decided to once again buy something cheap at the roadside in the village. Unfortunately, there was hardly anything and we had a sparse dinner satisfied. As a consolation we wanted to buy a bottle of local brandy (Apeteshi). Quickly we had found someone who was familiar with it and he took us to Fiema (the other city / town-part of Buabeng-Fiema). It occurred to us before, as if he had used several times already too deep into the glass. went through a few backyards, we passed a bar. The owner took us on exaggerated friendly. Our company asked for a drink, we allow him. There was a 0.2 liter glass Apeteshi, which he drank like water into itself. A surprised expression drank a glass of Ben and I together. The alcohol content of Apetechi is never the same, it depends on the brewer, which mixes the drink.
Our company wanted to visit someone, before we were making our way back. Followed him, he brought us into a shady shed where strange creatures with a beer and cigarettes were sitting. Faster than we had We have been involved in discussions. We had planned to return to the inn since it was already dusk, and stood before us the way to Buabeng. We
our company made it clear that without him we would go back again, what finally convinced him to join us. We crossed the road that led past the bar and saw the bartender caught up in a scuffle. We quickly made a detour around the scene and looked, we were soon back in our guest house. It was now getting dark and there were no street lights. On a straight stretch in the distance the light of the inn was in sight. Because we could orient ourselves and found back unscathed.
featured The next morning we are surprised that we had caught up with one pair of Larrabanga. The Rasta (Ghana) and the Swiss were sitting at the table and drank coffee. There was even a little left over for us and so we joined them.
On the way to the shower, I suddenly saw with horror that had nested on the roof of the house several large spiders. The night before, I'm still running barefoot along that path ....
Now it was but once in the forest. The tour guide was ready and we started marching. He told us of the existing species of monkeys and eventually brought us to a place where were staying, the monkeys often. We brought some bread to them . To attract They were there immediately, and tore a quick bread from his hand. A monkey, it seemed to be the Mother was very greedy and let the other hardly anything left! Past rainforest-like vegetation, we were led to the Cemetery. There is a cemetery where all the monkeys be dropped off after her death. The tour guide and game warden, they also buried there by hand.
came the end we passed a tree parasite. This wraps around a normal tree and feeds on it. After several years, died from the actual tree and it only remains for the parasite - as a skeleton remains the case. Inside the tree you could climb, he was so stable.
the way back the guest house we had to improvise because a swarm of bees on the path was wide. After a few detours but we were back in the right direction. booked the inn, the owner pointed us to a clearing in the area, from where you get a Trotro. Waited a while, it was in a rundown in the usual abundance Trotro continue on the road to Kumasi - our last stop on the tour.
