After checking in at the hotel. I went for a swim in the impressive swimming pool after dark, with a very full moon, and stars in the sky.
At 4 the next afternoon I returned to the airport to get fuel, and I met again with Peter. I was going to fill the wing tanks and my ferry tank, but just as we were about to start the process, a madame turned up, and said, I only could have 1 barrel of 200 liter out of the stock of the aero club! She said, that fuel was available in Ouugadougou and in Bamako.
Peter took me for ride around town, but it was now too late for me to walk about, as it was getting dark, and the shops were closing.
The next morning I went to the clubhouse at the airport, and Peter took me to the airport office to file a flight plan, and to pay the modest landing fee. That done, we returned to the clubhouse, where the plane was parked, and had some breakfast.
Soon after, I was in the air, heading north on a 330 heading. Peter had told me of a waterfall I should to see. But when I flew past the position he had pointed out on a map, I saw only a dammed up lake?
I continued north along the Ghana border, until passing the border to Burkina Faso. I wanted to avoid the Ghana airspace, as they wanted $600 to allow me to overfly it, and $550 in handling fees, to land in Accra. It was a shame, as I had planned to spend some time in Ghana, and it is the only country, I had obtained a visa for.
Arriving in Ouagadougou, I asked for fuel, but after a while I was told, that the supplier was located outside the airport , so I gave up taking care of it, until the next morning, and went downtown for the night.
