Gold Coast.



Do you remember my 'Age of Discovery' project?
Well, this is part two, we' re in the west coast
of Afrika now, 1472.
The first Europeans to arrive at the coast were
Portuguese. You'll never guess what they found
there :-)





As you can see, our fortune-hunters were making
the best of it.


End.
