Togo- I fell in love again


I was back in Togo again this year for the Easter holiday. I visited last year also during the Easter holiday
Tayo and I agreed to go back to Togo, our love for that country cannot end anytime soon. We had 3 new people join us this time around, one of them is Simi of Eattechtravel.

We stayed in the same apartment as the last time and the owner of the house was also in Togo from France.

We went with ABC transport, I am never traveling with ABC transport ever again in my life, a story for another day.

We visited Coco Beach and also the beach across the road from the house. I went back to Womé fall in Kpalimé with Simi and Lucy. We also discovered the  Lomé Cathedral and the arts and craft market.

The arts and crafts markets reminds me of the Lekki Market. All 3 arts of craft market (Accra, Lomé and Lekki) look and feel the same to me, they have the same products. I guess the voodoo section in the Lomé is the only major difference between all 3.

Our initial plan was to visit Koutammakou, a UNESCO site of traditional mud houses for a day. We found out that the trip actually takes over 7 hours and we would have to spend the night in the town close to the village. We jejely changed plans and ended up in Womé

This time around I took got to swim in the Womé fall, there was no Miss red in town to stop.

Asides from the stress with ABC, I had a really good holiday. Language barrier was a mess this time around. It was hard communicating with our airbnb host but dude was nice. He even took us out on the night before we left. The Togolese hospitality is the best I have experienced in our African countries I have visited.

I am already mentally planning my next trip to Togo. I can't seem to get enough of that country. For my next trip to Togo, I plan to go beyond Lomé and experience the other waterfall. 









The month of Ramadan is here and the next public holiday is coming. I plan to spend time with the family. I will be splitting my days between my mum's and my father's. I may get to visit Badagry for a day's trip.

What are your plans for the holiday?
