100 days. Seems like a life sentence..:) First Happy Birthday to Kelvin’s Jen, currently touring Tasmania. We each have a Jen. They are mostly very good things to have….:) So what did we do today! Not spend a second advancing our tan’s on the beach. Today we needed to renew…
It’s a bit like pulling teeth but we are making progress, albeit slow progress. I’m talking about shipping our vehicles. Today we received our first full quotation to ship from Lome to Walvis Bay in Namibia. We require a 40’ Hi Capacity container. I won’t divulge what the quoted price…
It’s nice to have the space of a bungalow. By the time we were ready to rise most of the washing, hanging around our bed, is dry enough to fold up. Not all it wasn’t the best sleeping. I must have been trying to adjust the aircon temperature but only…
A hot sticky night, despite having the Caranex door open at the top to let air in. The storm last night was epic in sound and volume of water. I was very happy to be sitting on meters of sand and not have to worry about floating away. As Jen…

Last night would have been the most difficult of our whole journey. Neither of us two were feeling great and the humid temperature was oppressive. Both our portable airocn unit and fan worked overtime to enable some sleep. The morning bought cooler temperatures and some respite. The ferry skipper came…
As for the roads, they are an absolute disgrace. Lonely Planet portrays Ghana as a vibrant dynamic society, the jewel in the crown of Africa. How quickly, once nepotism and corruption seep into the channels of power, society quickly degrades. I can hear the sermons in the churches of the…
Slowly our blog writing motivation is receding. The problem, a combination of factors. Certainly a reduced health and fitness since being in Abidjan. Adam had decided that he needed to transit from his European passports and get back to his South African one. Also, he does not have a Carnet…
The days click by but fortunately we now at last have a departure date from our hotel. Tuesday 14th. Ghana Visa I think Jen articulated pretty well, the difficulties we have had obtaining our Ghana visa. However, with the wonderful and understanding help from Adam and also Alexander and Sebastien,…
