Day 9 - Travel to Ghana from Mali

We all gathered at 7 AM to be at the Mopti airport by 7:30AM to check in and catch the plane. 6 of us plus our guide were set to ride the commercial flight to "the Ivory Coast" which left at 8:30 and the rest of the 19 were on a charter flight to leave at 9 AM.

Well 3 hours and lots of charades later the charter plane arrived but to our dismay there was a weight issue. Too many bags that were over the 25 pound average (maybe too much shopping?) and we had to move people around...so everyone had to write down their weights on a long sheet of paper for the captain to calculate the amount of weight he would allow on the plane. Naty, Robert, Simon, Carlos, Mark and Benina ended up on the "fatty" plane along with almost $400 worth of extra bagged fees.

We all arrived safely in Abidjan, Coit d'Ivoire with enough time to grab a quick bite before we were back on the plane headed for Accra, Ghana. We arrived about 10Pm, grabbed our luggage, took another bus ride to the hotel, checked in, grabbed a bite and were off to bed to rest up for the next day of adventure in humid Ghana!
