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
