After lunch, we travelled to the nearby fishing village of Akwidaa and split up into two groups - one for a canoe tour, the other for a tour around the slave trade fort. The canoe group, (after a walk through the town) saw mangroves, crabs, toucans,herons and many other animals and birds. The other group went for a guided tour around the slave trading fort. There was not much left, as the British navy had bombarded it during the slave trade.
Another group went off to do Batik - an African style of dying cloth. You use wax stamps to mark patterns on cloth. Later, the cloth is dyed, left to dry, and boiled to remove the wax. At the end of the process, you are left with patterns of your choice.
Back at Cape Three Points, we played two competitions - pool and table tennis. After dinner we held a games night. We played two more competitions - darts and boules. Everyone took part in all games, and the night was very competetive with bags of Haribo as prizes.
