Let's Travel #1 : A Trip to The Lake....#travel

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

"Are you busy this weekend"?..He asked me when I stood on the phone for a while looking speechless and the long awaited answer was "No".....Here's the good news he added after knowing that...
I was invited to join my family once again for a gathering to witness a marriage ceremony of a relative and this was indeed an awesome journey made over the weekend which l wouldn't hesitate at all to share with my lovely steemians.
Did I simply accepted to #travel because I was going to see the Lake once again?or because l was going see some faces l have missed in a while....Maybe l was going to do what am doing now;sharing the experience with you here on steemit.

Oh Yes !!!!! It was a lovely but tiresome journey we had which comprises lots of different many domestic activities.
Since we seemed to have our route through Lake Bosomtwe,it was necessary to make a detour at the lake and then continue to a closest town of where the activity taking place...The whole family expressed joy all over their faces on arrival at Lake Bosomtwe...Its my third time of visiting this place and was surely the first of other members of the family and so you could imagine the excitement we caught.

Lake Bosomtwe

It still remains the largest natural man-made lake in Ghana situated in the Ashanti Region, close to the capital city, Kumasi. Am told the Lake is named after the sacred god of the people of the area of Bosomtwe. The people believe that the souls of their departed ancestors reside in the Lake and as such do not permit fishing on Lake Bosomtwe with any other tool but wood.
Thats incredible

Lake Bosomtwe is estimated to have a diameter of over 8 kilometres and is with fish species of different kinds. Lake Bosomtwe is surrounded by many villages which we seemed to be visiting one and is a preferred holiday get-away in the region.

Music, outdoor picnics and swimming are very common activities at lake Bosomtwe on any day. Tourists and visitors are a common sight at the lake on weekends and holidays.But theres less patronage of this place during the rainy season due to the dangers involved.

它仍然是加納最大的自然人造湖,位於Ashanti地區,靠近首都庫馬西。我告訴湖是以博斯托夫地區人民的神聖之神命名的。人們相信,他們離開的祖先的靈魂居住在湖泊,因此不允許使用任何其他工具,但木材捕魚在博斯莫特湖。
這是令人難以置信的

Bosomtwe湖估計直徑超過8公里,屬於不同種類的魚類。 Bosomtwe湖被許多村莊包圍,我們似乎正在參觀一個,是該地區首選度假勝地。

音樂,戶外野餐和游泳是Bosomtwe湖任何一天非常常見的活動。遊客和遊客在周末和假期都是湖泊的常見景象。但由於涉及的危險,在雨季,這個地方的乘客較少。

還有,開始玩的樂趣...我們遇到了一群不同的人,他們也開玩笑了
但是,我們必須真正快速地離開,因為這只是一個簡單的繞行路線,然後我們進行到附近的城鎮為了旅程。

And heres where the fun just began...We met a group of different people who had come to have fun as well..
But we had to be a lil real quick and leave the seen as it was just a simple detour we made then proceed to the nearby town for the purpose of our journey.
