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…
Adam was up before us heading for the border. Not having a Carnet de Passage he wanted to cross before us. We left at about 8.30 to cover the 90 odd ks to the border. Once we reached the only major town en route to the border, Agnibilekrou, we expected…
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…
We have been here 10 days. It seems like a very long time. Not being well and stressing over the problems with obtaining visas. Yesterday afternoon we went to visit Jean-Luc and Annie. They were staying not far from us in nice accommodation. A villa. We asked how much it…
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,…
Just to keep you in the picture, we are both battling from a nasty dose of the flu and are confined to our hotel room, with the odd trip to Poki to make ourselves something to eat. We are also still struggling with the requirements for our Ghana visa. Unbelievably…
Poor Jen. Today has been a day of rest. Complete rest for Jen. She has been suspecting a bad cold or flu being imminent. Overnight, it arrived. She has a temperature, is very lethargic and confined to bed. Dr Adam is keeping a close eye on her, checking all the…
Breakfast at Hotel Berah was underwhelming. Bread and croissants with strawberry jam and tea/coffee. Too much bread. We seem to have bread with every meal. It is giving me a spare tyre. Especially as we are doing little exercise. Got to stop! It was overcast and humid this morning. Most…
All these hotels. Must be costing us a fortune! Well, not really. This one dearer than the last, with not a lot more for it, but at €38 it’s not too bad. We’d have trouble renting a tent site for that, in the UK. So, only 140k’s today. A lateish…
Hotel Amointrin included breakfast in the price. It wasn’t very exciting. A few slices of omelette, bread and marmalade and hot drinks, tea, coffee or chocolate. It was adequate though. Adam had messaged us to say he wasn’t leaving his hotel until 11.00 as he was waiting for his laundry…
