Zebilla as a tourist 4

Although lives are busy, seven days a week, there is time for fun with children- this baby is loaded into Rosie's bicycle basket!

A tro-tro- on the main road in Zebilla, loading up ready to go to Bolga. All excess cargo- including the goats, is piled onto the roof.
After six`days in Zebilla, we packed the rucksacks and left in a tro-on the first part of our road journey down to Accra, then along the coast westwards to Elimina.
The tro constitutes the regular bus service between Zebilla and its neighbouring towns of Bawku to the east and Bolga to the west.
Vans wait until they are full- meaning carrying up to twenty passengers- although small children and live fowls are not counted as such. En route they will frequently either break down, or need a change of tyre, the drivers efficiently doubling as mechanics. The tarmac road between Zebilla and Bolga is in a poor state, each vehicle picking out its own best way around the potholes using the full width and the rough tracks at the sides.
