8AM I woke up to go to the airport. I met Maame at Air Portugal, who suggested that I get a COVID test at the carpark clinic rather than the airport clinic. It was 500 GHS at the airport clinic versus 300 GHS at the carpark, both same day 3 hour service. I was to go there on May 8th, the day of my flight to Sao Tome and wait 3 hours before checking in. After confirming these information at both locations, I got a ride from Hertz to their location off site. I then received the vehicle form them and started driving to Cape Castle.
5PM The drive was quite long. I almost go into the hairy one when I took the path with unpaved roads. I stopped to ask a couple of girls. They got into the car led me out if it to continue on the main road N1. I was also stopped for speeding at 76 KPH. The higher limits are 80 KPH and 50 KPH. I was stopped at the 50 KPH part of the road. Though I was let go after a minute, another one gave me a ticket for not having an international license. I arrived Cape Castle at 5:30PM and left an hour later.
10:10PM I was stopped several times and had Maame help me
talking to the policemen. I eventually paid 3 times, being stopped by the
checkpoint guards almost every 5 minutes. Once I got closer to Accra, there
were fewer checkpoints. I added gasoline at Kasoa. I got off the phone with Maame
and was finally home 10 minutes after 10PM. There were meetings starting at 1:30AM and I didn’t get
to bed until 5AM.
