Late February, I travelled around Ghana for 8 days. I was able to see and do quite a lot of things in this short period. Ghana does not have a lot of major sights, but it is a friendly place with its own distinct living culture. Both WHS (Ashanti Buildings near Kumasi and the Forts & Castles along the coast) are well worth a visit. This is also true for Kakum National Park with its Canopy Walkway, a tentative WHS.

Thessalonika
'The very small Church of "Osios David" adjacent to the hill top Castle walls of Thessaloniki, has a charm and human scale above many of the other churches.'		 Protected area of Lake Atitlán (T)
'Interesting comments earlier. I always understood that it was Aldous Huxley who described Atitlan as "too much".'
 
Maulbronn Monastery
'The Maulbronn monastery is well worth a visit. It's a bit off the route so I consider to go by car.'		 La Chaux-de-Fonds / Le Locle
'Compared to the beauty of other Swiss cities La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle are rather disappointing.'
 
Protected area of Lake Atitlán (T)
'I am a Canadian living in a village on the shores of Lake Atitlan these last 20 years.'		 Great Zimbabwe Ruins
'Hi all, I saw that there were no water wells within the site of the ruin, does anyone here know how the inhabitants could have survived? Are there any nearby river? Hi Jacob Hungwe, if you happen to read this, maybe you can enlighten me as i believe you would know more than anyone of us, since you are the decendant of the Royal House.'
