10AM I woke and the hosts made me some breakfast omelet and fruit juice. They gave me a 2 liter bottle of water, which I needed in this heat. I started walking to town. It was a 3 kilometer walk.
11AM There was the cathedral and Sunday service. I then walked to the fort, which was closed on the weekend. I jumped into the water without realizing I was going in with my wallet and phone. One of the kids noticed and I jumped out immediately. Though I thought my phone suffered no damages, the screen would give out on the same night with cracks and lose mobile service.
2PM I had grouper and Sumol soda at Papa Figo. It was hard to decide between that, Filomar and O Pirata. I went with Papa Figo because of the number of reviews and how sure the host lady sounded. The grouper was good but nowhere nearly as good as the Ghanaian Village seafood platter.
3PM I exchanged some money with
men on the street corner. They were giving me 25 and 20 STN per EUR and USD,
respectively. It was better than bank rates. I exchanged 20 EUR and 10 USD for
705 STN so I could pay Luis.
4PM I paid a motorbike driver 20
STN to return to Casa Luis. I took a shower and the other Portuguese guy at the
house gave me a ride to the airport.
5PM Someone gave me 100 STN and I
exchanged my 25 STN change for 1 EUR. I waited for another 2 hours before boarding for
Accra, Ghana at 7:30PM.
10:30PM I arrived at Accra but the
transit agent was the same as the one two nights ago. She was being difficult
and didn’t let me into departure areas. I ended up sleeping on the cold metal chairs in the transit
area.
