These are from scanned film negatives, and were taken with a point-and-shoot. I flew to Abidjan on the now-defunct Air Afrique and headed straight to Yamoussoukro by bus. After returning to Abidjan for a couple of days in Markory, I crossed the border to Ghana and stayed at Elmina, Kumasi and Ho. I then crossed the border to Togo, and after a few days in hilly Kpalime and Lome I headed to Benin to get my flight home.
