The Tro-Tro




It's safe to say, I'm a taxi girl. Ghana's roads are actually pretty decent (apparently some of the best in Africa). The traffic is horrible and there are basically no rules, but paved roads. However when you get out of the city a little the dirt roads are a completely different experience. I have been on some roads that I would have been scared to drive on in my 4x4 Jeep. But these drivers are in little sedans driving over huge holes and bumps like it's no big deal. It's quite the experience.
