Assinie, Cote D'Ivoire

ASSINIE
We got to Assinie late at night hungry after a long bus ride, we were going to JBs place on the beach we stayed at a malaysians holiday home they have forgotten about it, it was lovely, even though the door wouldn't lock, it was very late but we still went down to the village along the beach for something to eat, CG, maddy and JB had a few beers and JB was drunk it was funny.
We walked back along the road thinking it was safer but having to dodge the dropping coconuts soon after an hour on the beach we went to bed beacause the tide was coming in rapidly.

We had a nice sleep on the shore but woke up to find the house was flooded in various parts; we went for a quick swim before we had to catch a taxi to assinie mafia to catch a pinasse (dug out canoe with a motor) to cross the border to Ghana then we caught a taxi for another 4 hours on a terrible road but the view was divine. On the way we had to stop at a check point a police man was drunk on palm wine and he said he was going to keep me Ii was terrified then the car broke down, we got to the real border poast and the police had never seen a passport before it took one hour to get three stamps.
