The Journey

[The Orange One]

Where you spend another few weeks recuperating.

[RobbieM]

And that involves a ride on one of their Jet-Skis! (I'm re-living my 1999 holiday here...)

[The Orange One]

While I, who have never been to Ghana, will relax the double posting rule while we remain in Ghana.

[RobbieM]

As it would be tricky for me to try and include the canoe-boat trip through the reeds to Mzulezu stilt village (wonderful though it was), I'll get us on a bus back to Accra.

[The Orange One]

Somehow, you get onto the roof of a taxi bound for Kotoka International Terminal 2 without the driver noticing. It's been a lovely trip, and you board an Air Burkina flight for Ouagadougou.

[RobbieM]

Disembarking in Ougadougou, you walk to the outside of the terminal, and...

[The Orange One]

Take a nice long stroll through the city, ending up...

[RobbieM]

...at the bus station. You catch a bus to...

[The Orange One]

Bamako, in Mali.

[RobbieM]

Then hire a decrepid taxi which takes you northwest to Kambila.

[The Orange One]

You have a look around for someone to take you on. You meet a lorry driver called Cheick, who agrees to take you to...

[Rhys1995]

Bakel Airport in Eastern Senegal. You notice some radishes being transported to Aldi UK in a cargo plane. You hop on and nine hours, and 1000 radishes later, you end up at a regional office warehouse in Chelmsford, after being transported from plane, to lorry. The journey plus the radishes have made you sleepy, and after falling asleep for a few hours, you wake up to find you're in the back of a lorry, still covered in radishes all wrapped up in shrink wrap in a delivery heading towards Aldi, Bishop's Stortford. It is now 6.15am on Tuesday, and I (Rhys) am working an early shift. The delivery man drops you off in the warehouse, where I see you.

[The Orange One]

Rhys offers to let you stay with him until the Random 15 on Saturday. You graciously accept this offer.

[Rhys1995]

You work alongside me from Tuesday until Friday, when we clock off at 10.30pm. After waking up from a nice sleep on my floor on Saturday, I drive us into Stortford station for the 09.09 Stansted Express service to Liverpool Street. The meet isn't until 12.30pm but I suggest we ran into London early. We then take a nice shiny 379 into Liverpool Street.

[The Orange One]

Where they are doing another promotion, so you pick up loads of snack food free. Then you head down into Zone 1 on the Central line, ending up at...
