One could easily locate the Christianborg Castle, Ghana’s Parliament house, Korle Bu teaching hospital, the trust towers and other edifice in the capital.
Along the shore is also the fishing harbour at James town.
The participants, after touring these sites, departed for Kumasi, the Ashanti Region capital.
