The drive from Ghana to Togo is easily one of the most enjoyable three-hour treks in the world. Just ignore the ridiculously pot-hole laden stretch of road leading up to the Ghanaian border town of Aflao. Also, the rampant dust bunnies - Aflao is quite literally the dustiest place on the planet.

Funnily enough, as soon as you step across the border to Lomé, the scenery is completely different. No dust at all. Just an expanse of gold, sandy beach and a single asphalt road stretching off to distant Benin. Sound picturesque enough for you? It is.

| Just an average beach in Lomé. |

Best thing about Togo? Cheese! After the relative dairy desert of Ghana, it was great to be able to bite into a cheese baguette. Mmm.
Of course, we can't forget the drive back through Ghana's Volta region. Again, the scenery is absolutely stunning. If I were a landscape, I'd be jealous.

These marshes apparently look a lot deeper than they are.
Does that make them shallow? |

| Heading back to Accra. Bye bye Volta! |
