Day 84: Thursday 27 January 2011. Chez Alice, Lome
Togo. N06 10.087 E001 20.437 Distance driven 0 km
The Oasis truck pulled out of here this morning and it
all seems very quiet and empty. We went off to town, found the DRC Embassy
and lodged our visa applications. We collected them later in the afternoon, all
very painless except for the CFA 40,000 cost! (£54 each).
Whilst we were in town we hunted down a shop selling
solar PV panels and bought a 40 watt panel to use to charge the fridge. It
is not as powerful as we would have liked but is about as big as we can safely
stow on the roof with all the other junk we have up there. Next time we camp
we'll try it out.
Last night the Chez Alice people out on a song and dance
show with a strong voodoo theme. Unfortunately, I was feeling wiped out
and soon fell asleep but from what I did see of it it was an excellent
show. See Jenny's blog for details!
We'll definite;y leave tomorrow and head for
Benin.
