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.
