On 3 Jan, we did like Contiki and saw 3 countries in one day. We left Ouidah, Benin in the morning, had brunch in Togo and a roadside lunch in Ghana, reaching Accra in the late afternoon. Crossing Togo's coastline took less than an hour, being all of 56km long.
In Togo, we crossed into GMT and stopped for a G&T in Lomé. As we left the restaurant, I realised I had moved my watch forward one hour, instead of back and we had ordered a G&T at 10 o'clock in the morning. No wonder the waitress' smile was pitiful!

Hariesh! It's great to hear from you. I think about you and the girls and Rusty often, especially when I see the lovely cards from you all in Peggy's bed!

What's wrong with a drink at that time? Had a drink recently at park for you guys. Even had a 1st timer at the park join us! Your welcome home party is being planned already.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, travel safe friends. We think of you daily.
