In general a packed two days and lots of it spent in transit. We went to a lot of places and got a much better understanding in the current power of the Asante people. Highlights for me were the Kente cloth weaving workshop and the marketplace. I also really enjoyed the military museum ( I don’t think that’s what it’s officially called). I wasn’t well during the trip and the guides made sure I got medication and the rest I needed.
