Northern Region...48 hours and 35 Deg C ...at Internet Cafe tonight

Spent 4 hours in the car this evening, driving...it felt like I was in a Dukes of Hazard movie...sorry no photos I'm 250km north of Accra in Kumasi in the Ashanti region..will add them to Flickr when I get back. Tomorrow at 6.30am another 350km north to Tamale for site surveys with the engineers.

Driving in the dark here is incredible, the cars are wrecks by day, by night they are ships of death, we were passed by a VW Jetta with it's whole front end smashed (NO Lights) about a foot into the front...what was scary was that when darkness fell we caught back up with the car in the dark! No headlights! No white lines in the road, no street lighting (the country is near jungle left and right of the road) No cats eyes! and histeriacally the car is still hard to catch in the black of night....so we flashed him, he moved over and we led him to Kumasi...I'm still laughing at the "No fear" factor of the driver and passengers. Who gave him the temporary registration plates from Ghana DVLA that's what I want to know.... anyway...made it safe and ready to sleep after bouncing all the way here!
