100% of the workers here are ladies.
Each slave has an owner.
This is where they put the iron in their body.
Whenever the governor wants to have a pinky pinky,
or have an affair,
you stand over there.
All the women will be down here.
Then select the one you want.
And if you know you refuse,
you go down here.
No food, no water.
Select your own.
That's a very big atrocity.
Wow.
That's a very big fish.
You bought them or you fish them?
No, no, no.
I go and fish them.
You fish? Okay, you fish.
So I finally went down
on the
edge of the water
in the fishing market.
This is the view I had
when I was on the top of the bridge.
And this is what you missed.
Welcome to Elmina
fishing market.
Fishes are coming.
So,
that's very busy.
So you can see boats are just arriving.
I think
as soon as they arrive,
they offload their fish.
And I think their fish,
their fishes
are just brought here.
The second they arrive here.
Wow.
So, let's keep walking.
I don't know if you noticed
that
100% of the workers here
are ladies.
This is a boat loaded.
Very loaded.
Ladies are gathering
where the boat just arrived.
You can see
many products.
This market is very lovely.
So yes,
that boat with the boys
arrived fully loaded.
So,
the ladies are here to buy.
Wow.
That's a very big fish.
This is a shark.
Ah, it's a shark, you think?
Ah.
Oh.
Oh yeah, I see the face.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, that's sad.
Okay.
This is a shark.
I don't know what to say.
Hammer shark.
We are in Elmina.
The smell is so strong.
Really strong.
So.
Yeah.
Hi.
So, it looks like this boat
is a...
Morning, sir.
Thank you, thank you.
Ah.
Ah, this one is crabs?
Yeah, crabs.
Crabs, yes.
Okay.
Are you fishing only crabs yourself?
Yes, yeah.
Ah, no.
Okay, you have different stuff.
Okay.
You bought them or you fish them?
No, no, no.
I go and fish them.
You fish?
Okay, you fish.
Okay.
Yeah, I love this place.
It's very beautiful.
Okay.
Well done, sir.
How are you doing?
Okay.
I wish you a good day, sir.
Okay.
I need to
maybe save some battery
for the castle.
So.
You had a taste.
You had a taste of a proper
fish market here
on the coast of Ghana.
Sorry, madam.
Okay.
The fish smell is
so strong.
When they started cutting that shark before...
Yeah.
That's very strong.
These boats
are just so beautiful.
Yeah.
So this was the
local port
and
fish market.
So let's go back
to the castle.
At least make a
touristical visit.
I wish I could stay here
all the day.
I feel a lot better in this
fish market than
roasting
in Helmina Castle.
But
maybe you want to see it.
I want to see it too.
I'm just joking.
So.
Okay.
I need to climb up
there again.
Ah.
Love these shoes.
So here is the
castle again
with Pe.
I was walking through the
gate for vehicles.
And I'm in charge of my
safety.
Thank you.
Okay.
Thank you.
So.
Yeah.
We can check
at least.
This is the male
dungeon.
Okay.
So here was only
female staying here.
Okay.
Oh yeah.
That's a very big
atrocity.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So the well is here.
So they pour water like
this.
They wash them around
so that they can be
neat.
And after accepting
they pass here to the
god rest.
Okay.
They were going up
through the stairs.
Okay.
Yeah.
Safe.
I don't know if it's the
good word.
Yeah.
That's very terrible.
Yeah.
It's something we
should not forget
and it's good some
people like you are
keep saying it to.
Yeah.
I mean.
Yes.
That's it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh huh.
Okay.
You belong to.
And then you go straight
there in front to the
door.
No return is it.
Yeah.
Uh huh.
Yeah.
Yes.
Okay.
Yes.
Okay.
So there's a small
small gate here.
Okay.
Yes.
Uh huh.
Yes.
Yeah.
These are some.
They have to do
something.
Yes.
Uh huh.
Yes.
It's also I think
difficult for many
guys from diaspora
that are living in
Africa but they
feel African
African and
down the other
side.
And they were
grown there and
they don't know
much about some
of them about
them.
So.
Here was the last
end and normally
people used to
wait for the boat
to come.
But after here
and moving up
the square the
governor was
president.
So now he was
able to learn.
This place is one
of the part of the
governor's
government officers
men.
Uh huh.
That's where they
would be sitting
and eating and
drinking.
Okay.
Having the fun, especially having fish here. This is where they sit.
Yeah, so this is where they can monitor.
Yeah, I mean, they must feel very powerful.
So you know, this is what now the people in Africa now telling their own self that,
if there was a church up and a dungeon down, between heaven and hell is here.
I get it. That's what people are saying. Yeah, so people realize that Christianity is coming from
here. It means there's some stuff that's hidden before people. You are saying hallelujah. Yes,
I mean, Christianity was not here before the white people came. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Was like some voodoo, different style. Exactly, we have, no, no, in that time,
in that time, we have our own way of worshipping. It's called a Kung Fu. A Kung Fu. Yes. Okay.
We have our own way of doing, we have our own army in the Kung Fu. It's our tradition.
And some changes to the army. Different deities too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you.
So this is where the big master.
Let's first see this. This is where. Okay.
Okay, so it can be discreet. It was a kind of. Yes.
Yeah, just pick one. Yeah, yeah.
They will go in the apartment.
Yeah. So this was the governor's apartment.
Office or stuff like this here.
Like his personal, personal apartment. Yeah, you could see the coast very far.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, these guys are as monstrous as ingenious. They are, they are very monstrous. They did
atrocity. But in terms of when you see all the, all the fort around the coast, the way they defend.
Where they were eating.
Okay, the kitchen is here.
Whatever the Dutch left, the Portuguese left, the Dutch didn't use it. Okay. They thought it
was poison. They changed their own water. Okay. They did not even use the same place to cook.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Guess what? And there is the slaves.
Now you can pray here.
Hi, uh, this is uh, are you, are you a religious person? Do you believe, are you Christian? Are
you? Okay. Yeah. So we have something in common. Yeah. I believe if you do good first is good for
you and good for the other. Yeah. When you see these people praying over the slave, that's
kind of shocking. Wow. This bridge is very new. Yeah. Because when I came that, uh,
new bridge was not here. Yeah. It does change a lot. The harbor township itself is a journey.
The journey goes into Ragon. And with the lagoon here, it goes around all over by the sea,
drawn back to the township. I can run like this here? Exactly. So it's a canal. Okay. With boats?
You mean? With the boats. That's why the Dutch people were much more interested, like taking
I understand. Okay. That's another thing that makes it very difficult to take over.
Yeah. Yeah. They know the surrounding.
Okay. Okay. Okay. I've been there. Okay. Yeah.
Okay.
This one must be very heavy. My question, I was wondering when I was in, uh, another castle,
I was, uh, in, uh, Cape coast, this, uh, how do they bring this up? It's so heavy at this time.
And that time it was more manpower. Yeah. A lot of men as much as they can just to pull
as much as their feet will carry them. No matter how heavy it is. It's a lesson. Yeah. No matter
if people have to die to carry it. There was a war between the Dutch and the Portuguese.
Okay. Okay.
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
You know,
because each time we have any kind of bad thing,
enemies coming from all over, they have to be studied. That's why the kind of
yeah.
Okay.
Okay. He stays here. Yes.
Okay. Yeah.
Okay.
Just wait on the boat, but they want to take that chief for benefits of their own business.
Yeah. That's one of the things also very, very terrible. I mean,
how white people were helped also by some other guys here. Yeah.
Now it's the same to see the back of the port.
Now blocked. Yeah. Why? Because they want to have a beach for the people of Elmina so that there will
be something different. Yeah. This will preserve the coast.
It's nice. No, no. It's nice to think about that too.
No way.
Money.
So you try to teach them how to do this thoughts so that they might be able to teach people so
no, it doesn't work.
Okay.
Okay. Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay. Some stuff that has been found here. Yes.
Yeah. Okay.
I understand.
Mm.
We are done with the visit of the castle. I can see rain there, but I think the rain is inside land.
We pick up the bank and then we'll go for some more adventures.
I never switched sides. Like even when I die, I'm a ride for the squad letter ties in the hearse.
I've been on the vibe kind of hard to describe. I'm in between. I'm good and it's fine, but I'm
tired of the grind. Then I come alive in the night to realize I'm in the middle of the time of my
life. I'm never so packed for the stack. Never lied on the back, got a bag in the way that I write
it. Queen looking Tyson. Do that. I survived doing 80 to the house. Then I hit into the sky,
we all went the same.
Try and get grip, but it don't make sense because you can lose life on this fast route.
I don't need to accolades. I'm in love with the chase. I just want to
pay myself on the map.
Five hour flights, couple nights at the flat to be real. Could you see me making moves while I'm
mad? I'm still on the grind. Every time when I chat, I'm burning down sage. Keep the demons away.
When I write it, give a piece of myself to the page. I'm doing for the praise love. That's just
how I made it from the glass in the mirror. Yeah, do it at me. Oh, man, trying to pass in a fear.
You're the first one to talk, but the last one to hear.
