Day 23 - Accra (Ghana) to Lagos (Nigeria)
Our Africa World Airlines flight from Accra to Lagos was only an hour or so, and we could see how densely populated Lagos was as we landed, it was also quite grey and overcast, different to Accra.
Disembarking at Lagos airport saw us suddenly dropped into a tipping culture like no other we had come across when the custom's official asked for a tip to check our paperwork! We had no cash at this point so it was easy to say no.
We bought a sim card at the airport which was a very time consuming process, by the time that was sorted we were pleased we'd asked our hotel to arrange a pickup as we had to run the gauntlet of so many men trying to help us with our bags.
We were staying on Victoria Island, the more upmarket part of Lagos. Our hotel was very nice, but we were surprised to see that we had a record player in our room. The hotel had a lovely rooftop bar which meant we had a nice gentle start to our Lagos stay.
