If you have a hankering for a trip to nowhere in particular, then the land nearest nowhere is as good a destination as any. So where is nowhere? Answer: Cape Three Points in Ghana, West Africa, where zero latitude meets zero longitude at zero altitude. You’ll avoid the rainy season this time of year although a weather phenomenon known as the harmattan, a dry northeast wind, blows almost continuously in January and February. The drive from Takoradi, dotted with crop farms, rubber plantations and local fora and fauna is just as amazing as the panoramic views from the solar-powered 1925 lighthouse waiting for you at the Cape. Now that sounds more like somewhere to me.
