Lake Bosomtwe

Coming up on Lake Bosomtwe (Bo-sum-tray)

We thought it was an old volcano similar to Lake Tahoe but turns out from Joni's sleuthing that it is a crater from a very large meteor impact.

Up and over the rim and down towards the lake.

Not quite there yet.

Had to do a little off roading! And it was much worse than this. 

Many small villages all around the lake.

Panorama view.

About 12  km across.

A lot of Maize, Coco and other local fruit and plants.

I really thought it was volcanic given the sharp hills and peaks around the edge of the crater.

We met a group of Christian missionaries from Canada while we were there.

They charged us $.50 a piece to use this beach. What a steal!

Sister Halladay and Sister Wardle checking out the WARM water.

Coco pods with coco beans inside. About 6-8 inches long, grow from the trunks of the trees.

Beans in the pod, stacked on top of each other.

One of the nicer hotels in Kumasi is named the Golden Bean, after the coco bean pod.

Eating a coco bean, right before he told us to eat around the bean, then dry it before eating it!

On the way out the views were endless. Wish I had brought my binoculars.

Elder Ameworlor (Am-a-war-lore) leaving tomorrow with five Sister Missionaries. He was pretty happy.
