Grand Adventures // The Land of 10,000 Motos

April 22

 Today I went to Mole National Park, in the Northern Region. This was a trip that Monica, Julie and I had planned, but since they had to leave early I adventured solo. Well, not completely solo, I had a friend of a friend who lived up there to take me around. The 12-hour bus ride was fine- the landscapes are gorgeous.

The bus pulled in at 7pm and at the stoplight I look out the window to see one million motorcyclists. I thought Hell’s Angels came to Tamale, but no, that’s just their mode of transportation. Tamale: the place where everyone and their grandmother drives a moto. Shani, my friend of a friend/ guide for the week picked me up and thus began the chapter: “My Life from the Backseat of a Motorcycle”.
