Alew, just land there ... the ladies are all yours!
[QUOTE=Alew217]I will arrive May 6th late and plan on getting a hotel somewhere in OSU for a few days, then look around for something cheaper and better. I remember some guys saying it was not a good thing to stay at one place, it was better to move around.[/QUOTE]
Osu is the best as it is central. Spend a day in whatever place you have booked then find a cheaper option... there are plenty... all out there in the thread.
[QUOTE=Alew217]I have been told a taxi from Airport to OSU should be about $10 is this true? [/QUOTE]
First time visit will cost you $10; try beating it down to $5-6 if you are not landing in Accra during peak traffic hours. However while returning, try not to pay more than $4 if it is non-peak hour. If bargaining is not one of your strong points, befriend the security guard at your hotel and ask him to negotiate on your behalf.
[QUOTE=Alew217]I plan on getting a card for my GSM unlocked phone when I arrive and have a local number. Does anyone know the cost of a phone Simm card? [/QUOTE]
MTN SIM card will cost $1 and additional charges for the recharge coupon ($7.5 or 15 depending on what you need).
[QUOTE=Alew217]Appears that overnight partners should be about $25 to $30 a night? [/QUOTE]
Yea yea yea and maybe even less... the place is a paradise :D
Gentlemen, just returned from a visit and let me thank all contributors on this thread for the exhaustive information on mongering and also traveling/ staying in Ghana. The info is so good that I did not need to either post a query or send a PM to any member for help in Ghana. Thanks again.
A full report will follow soon (as soon as the aching feeling of being out of Ghana sets in).
Cheers!
