Eventually we got through immigration back to Cote d'Ivore, this guy we met in Ghana who said he was Ivorian first he asked CG to carry his bag into Cote d'Ivore not letting us know what was in it but we just said no then he said to the police man that we had his yellow fever ticket then he told the the big boss that I was with him and I was his daughter but CG just yelled at him.
Eventually we got a tro tro to Aboisso from there we got a taxi to JBs again where we spent 2 nights. We arrived and JB got us dinner then we went to town because I wanted to see what the night club was like but it was shut so we went down to the pub there were so many people there drunk I pissed myself laghing we got home at about 2 in the morning I was so tired I went straight to bed. In the morning I went for a swim but the sea was being funny in a strange way soo we walked upto town to find a dressmaker he said come back tomorrow at 11 and it will be ready so we went back to JBs for another swim and a chilled afternoon. In the moarning we went back to get the dresses and we got 3 long skirts 2 for my friends and 1 for me 1 small one for my little sister and a short one for me and ... my gorgeous dress I designed later that afternoon we left for Bassam.
That night we arrived in Bassam Marvin wasn't there so we waited for him he was in Abidjan, when he got home he took us out for dinner we had a nice dinner but they made my chicken too spicy and the other nice we ordered it especially for me. Then we went to a nightclub it was so funny. The next day we went for a wander in Bassam didn't do much then we went for a swim in the pool we stayed at home for dinner that night. the next day we wandered up to this big market were we bought last minute presents then we went to the orphanage and we played with the kids and had a good time. That night we went out again for dinner then to the nightclub because one of Amis friends was having a birthday party I was dancing it was so fun eventually we got home and went to bed.

Back through Ghana
On the Sunday we got a taxi to the border then a bus to Accra, the bus took us down to the Takoradi station in Accra and then CG changed euros with the immigration officer who was a passenger but he didn't have enough money to change so she had to give a smaller amount.
Then another very long bus ride to Takoradi, CG borrowed a girls phone to telephone Olivier & Danielle at www.busuainn.com to tell them we were coming back but she couldn't hear Olivier so CG went down the steps of the bus, just down to the last step. Then the bus shut the doors and left, I was scared because I couldn't see her and thought she had been left behind, I was yelling 'STOP' so he jammed the brakes and CG smacked her head. On the bus a man put a freezer in the baggage hold and it soaked CG bag she went nuts it was so funny. He piled up all his bags then she knocked them down it was so funny.
We walked to the tro tro station to get a trotro to Agona Junction first this guy told us there were no trotros to AJ so he made us buy tickets to Axim and said he would drop us off at AJ but he made us pay the full price then CG left me all by myself and went for a walk in the bus station it was 9pm. Soon CG found out that a tro tro had just left for AJ and there was another fulling up so one guy was helping CG to get the Axim ticket money back and went nuts at the other guy but CG had a nutcase woman following her, I was scared, she was completely nuts. Then we payed for 4 tickets so we would leave sooner 3 for us in the front 1 in the back then he sold the ticket again then that was chaos when we got to AJ and we all we got was hassle and then we found a taxi for 3 cedi to Busua for then a whole load of people got in the taxi they were only paying 0.5c the stupid thing was the taxi driver said I'm nice so i will give you the proper price whatever; so when we got there we only gave him 1 ceddi he wasn't going to argue with us.
We arrived at Oliver and Danielles once again and had another cheese hamburger and chips I soon went to bed i was exhausted. The next day we had a nice morning on the beach then we went down to www.ezilebay.com which is also owned by Olivier & Danielle, we were the only ones there, we stayed there for one night we had a lovely bonfire with Jacob and a nice meal then we made our way back to Cote d'Ivoire

Togo
After a ten minute trip across the boarder, me stuck on the drivers seat with 3 other people in the front and another 10 in the back all 14 of us werein a 7 seater car we arrived in a market where i bought some gifts after that we got another car to Kande, CG got pulled out of the car before Kande on the road and got taken into an office. The guy ripped us off because we had to get our passports stamped because we couldnt do it at the border but he drove us to Kande's police and they stamped our passports.
Then we got a trotro to Kara and we looked at three hotels until we eventually found one once again we dumped our packs and went to town in search of a SIM card and internet we found both but the internet wasnt working we paid for one hour and were in there for 3 but all we got was 15mins of internet. Then we made a move back to the hotel and found a nice restaurant for dinner, we orderded our meals then CG asked the waitress where to find the bus station so CG went down to the station and left me in the restaurant but arrived to find it shut but she was scared to give the guardian the money.
She did and in the morning, he had the tickets it was extremely lucky and they were the last tickets and then a 7 hur bus ride to Lome the capital from the bus station we shared a taxi with a priest to the father home then the taxi took us to Chez Alice in Aveposo just out of town. We stayed there for one night and we met these Solvenians it was there first time in africa as well, I think I scared them with my stories of the trip. Then a man called Timothee picked us up CG had contacted him before we left. We stayed with Timothee's family for three nights because the Embassy of Ghana was being stupid [we needed another visa for ghana] we went to the beach and had a great time.
