Wli waterfall

On Sunday, Jen and I went to see West Africa's tallest waterfall, called Wli. There's a short hike to get there, but it isn't very steep, so you can actually look around and enjoy the sights instead of being distracted by exhaustion and excessive sweat. There were so many butterflies, all feasting on fallen mangoes. We had to cross the same river 9 times to get up to the falls. It was so lovely. Once we saw the waterfall, we immediately felt more relaxed and happy. Its not as big and/or powerful as, say, Yosemite, but it was very peaceful and soothing. There were thousands of fruit bats nesting (do bats nest? whatever) right next to the water. I really didn't want to leave! But I wanted to get back to Accra before dark, so we reluctantly headed back down. So lovely! And yes, I made it back to Accra before dark.
