Ghana!
Turns out to have been a good idea to leave Togo - five people were killed in protests the next day.
Yes we're in Ghana, and it rocks. We spent a few days at a seaside village hoping to spot some baby turtles hatching in the evenings, but had no luck - possibly because of the moon.
Today we arrived in the capital city, Accra, which really illustrates how Ghana is doing much better than its neighbours - maybe it's because we've been in Benin, but this seems almost like a developed world city. There are big buildings, some trees, and traffic is mostly cars instead rather than little motorbikes. It's also much breezier, and less dusty and polluted here. And pretty much everyone speaks English... So I'm very happy to be here.
