This post is a little out of order, It should have come right after the trip from Accra to Kumasi! On the second day of our trip to Mole we were able to make a couple of great stops. As we drove north, the topography continued to change almost hourly. Our first stop was at the Tafi Monkey sanctuary. In this small village the monkeys are considered sacred and therefore have a central role to play in village life. Everywhere you looked there were monkeys. They were on the roofs of the houses, climbing on cars and coming up to you as you walked the streets. One of the most fascinating parts of this visit was the monkey cemetery where they bury the monkeys that have died in the village.
Our next stop as we headed north was at the site of a beautiful three stage waterfall. After a short walk past one of the biggest termite hills I had ever seen and descending a couple hundred stairs, we reached the falls. There must have been at least 50 students swimming in the large pool under the falls and sliding down the slick rocks. Looked like fun, but we chose to pass this time around.
