The last time i posted was on my trip to
Tumu my first stop of my backpacking trip. when i was on the road, i figured writing blog post whiles on a one week backpacking tour would not allow me to absorb local culture and i might feel rushed. My time was already limited as it was just a week of backpacking and i wanted to absorb as much information and sightseeing as the few days would give me. I didn't want to spend the few hours i had left going to internet cafes to write post to update the blog. I therefore decided to wait till i get home and do a series of posts to update you on what happened.
From Tumu, i headed east my plan was to spend a day at Navrongo, one of the major towns in the Upper eastern stretch of Ghana and very close to Paga another town in Ghana which has famous crocodile pond and a slave camp (a post on that coming soon).

| Bus ride from Tumu to Navrongo |
Only one bus moves from Wa to Bolgatanga with a stopover in Tumu where others will join to places such as Navrongo therefore missing it means staying till the following day. Although i alighted in Navrongo, i was made to pay the full Bolgatanga fare. Towns and villages worthy of note are Chiana and Chuchuliga

| First sign post that caught my attention |
Reached Navrongo around 12 pm Monday afternoon and the town looked really busy since it was a market day and there was a lot of excitement in the air as Ghana was playing United states in the Fifa world cup.

| It was a market day, people were busily trading |

| Navrongo high street |
I slept at a guest house called Pierre Lodge which was a bit out of town therefore rates were cheaper. At Pierre guest house i gave up on bathroom lights in guest houses because the bathroom lights here were not functioning either.
