After another few phone calls to the Embassy my visa was finally issued.
Had copies made and packed and left. The border is a kilometer away and Ghana wanted to know where their visa was in my passport and had to explain South Africans don't need a visa, it's just a stamp in. Well he had to check with the boss and all was good. Then the customs were confused to my paperwork which was invalid and wanted the copy that came with what I showed them. I explained that the police took it and then they said " Why did you let the police take it ? " "Hey like I can stop them "
I left the last time when I entered Ghana and was supposed to come back and pick up my entry permit for the bike, but left after hours waiting. Anyhow when they ran it in the computer nothing showed up and then they told me to go. A lucky escape on that paperwork, they just gave up thankfully. Finally was out of Ghana.
Togo was five minutes, stamped in with visa on hand then customs asked for my CDP but told him I didn't have one and then I could leave, no fees or Passavant required. Finally was in Togo🇹🇬.
The road down to Lomè was excellent and they don't know about speedbumps thankfully so was a pleasant ride down.
Found the Gallion Hotel which is okay at $19.
Got a taxi to Fetish Market and then had a good salad dinner for a change.
