Day 100. Thursday 30th March. Lome. Togo.

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…

Day 98. Tuesday 28th March 2023. Coco Beach Hotel, Lome. Togo.

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…

Day 96. Coco Beach Hotel. Sunday 26th March. Lome. Togo.

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…

Day 94. Friday 24th March. Coco Beach Camp. Lome. Togo

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…

Day 92. Wednesday 22nd March. The Geyser Hotel, Kpaline to Lome. Togo.

While the power kept going off and our fan with it, I again slept the sleep. In the morning the rain came again. Cooling and soothing. It looks like the wet season is here now. It’s time to head to the city. After having some breakfast in the restaurant we…

Day 90. Monday 20th March. Mountain Paradise Retreat. Ghana.

This is the perfect place for recuperation. Sun with shade but cool breezes keeping the temperatures down to a comfortable level. The bedding was again wringing wet this morning. Horrible. After a couple of hours I’m able to sit in one of our comfortable camp chairs outside Poki, for a…

Day 88. Saturday 18th. March. Volta Lake Landing to Mountain Paradise Lodge.

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…

Day 86. Thursday 16th March. Dormaa Ahenkro to Kumasi

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…

Day 84. Tuesday 14th March. Abidjan to Abengourou

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…

Blog Update. Abidjan. Ivory Coast. Sat 11th March.

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,…
