    February 8 in Togo ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    The plane took off at 9:23am from Abidjan. Flight was smooth. I was given a long chicken sandwich and a cup of sprite. It was a short 1hr flight and by 10:23 am we landed in Lome, Togo.

    As transferring passengers we had to go through security scanning again. I used the 5hr layover to have some lunch. The internet in the airport was very sporadic, whatsapp video calls were impossible to make but I succeeded in making an audio call home.

    The flight to Lagos eventually took off at about 15:30 hrs and the pilot announced that the flight time will be 35mins.
