A relaxed afternoon of art appreciation - Our half-day tour with Clinton of Kwame Tours was a perfect, gentle introduction to Ghana on our first day. Clinton was punctual and pleasant, picking our family group up from our hotel and making everything easy and straightforward. Our first stop was a coffin carving workshop, where we saw the extraordinary “fantasy coffins” made in the tradition of the Ga people. These coffins reflect something meaningful about the deceased’s life, and it was fascinating to see them up close. During our visit we saw a truck and a Bible being made, as well as a completed Nokia mobile phone, an aeroplane and a trainer — dramatic, colourful and distinctive. The workshop itself is quite small, so around 20 minutes there felt about right. We then continued to the nearby Artists Alliance Gallery, which was really worthwhile. The gallery spans four floors and contains a wide range of artefacts and artworks, from antique pieces to contemporary paintings. Clinton gave us plenty of time to explore at our own pace without hurrying us, which we really valued. There was such variety that everyone in our group found something that interested them, and we happily spent over an hour browsing. Afterwards, Clinton took us back to our hotel, making for a relaxed and well-paced afternoon. Overall, this was a very good tour to do at the start of our stay in Accra — interesting, manageable in length, and not too tiring.
