13. 1. Leaving for Ghana





Our travelling guide says, that you can take a bus from Cotonou to Accra, and arrive the same day. We packed our truck and started around noon.

Before crossing the border to Togo, Manuel wanted to visit a friend, who has a lodge on the seaside. His wife told us, that he was arrested, because he had borrowed his car to a relative who commited a crime, and they found him as the owner of the car. We collected some dividends for our shareholders on the beach and back on the road.

The border to Togo was easy, we got our visa immediately, and wanted to spend the night around Lomé (capital of Togo). Looking for a good place to stay, we suddenly were on the border to Ghana. The sun went down, and the border was really busy: people packed with lots of stuff, discussing, shouting, negociating. We went out to get visa – inshallah -, but were sent back: no more visa at the border, we had to apply at the embassy in Lomé.

Back to Togo, we had the departure-stamp in our passports already. It was dark, and still no place to stay. Hungry we went into a Chinese restaurant to eat, and asked if we could sleep next to their entrance and guardian, so we were protected for the night.
