Abidjan → Assini Mafia, Côte d’Ivoire

Podcast Summary

It’s December 4th, and this is finally the day I’ve been waiting for. I walk through what I thought would be a simple Ghana visa pickup that nearly turned into another delay, thanks to equipment issues at the embassy. While waiting, I explore Abidjan one last time—checking out of my hotel, navigating the massive Treichville market, and visiting the modern St. Paul Cathedral. Just when it looked like I might be stuck until Monday, the visa came through, and I hit the road. I share my decision to take things slowly on the way to Ghana, heading instead to the coastal town of Assini Mafia, where beaches, palm trees, payment surprises, and a relaxed evening wrapped up a long but satisfying day.
