More From Ghana
On the second day of our trip, we took a stroll around and quickly realised there was not much up in Nungua. Fortunately even though it was 7p.m, we were able to get a taxi and head off to Osu, which is kinda like the town centre (Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus wanna be). Jokes apart though, they do have a street called Oxford Street, which bares as much resemblance to the W1 Oxford Street as the Lagos Broad Street to the EC1 broad street.

The taxi driver was kind enough to show us the local highlights and popular restaurants. We ended up in Frankie's which reminded me of Nando's ( a personal favourite). Judging by the clientele, it seemed like a tourist hangout and a popular hang out with the rich kids on holiday from universities in the UK and US. The food was ok, definitely different from Nigerian cuisine.

After dinner, we walked along the road and noted several bars with live music. With bars and clubs, I always prefer the well trodden path and will only go to one either recommended by a local or a guidebook. As this was not the case with Accra, we ended the night early and headed back to the hotel. Sadly, not an opportunity to repeat my KL table top dancing antics.
