Nice work!

Hmm, there seem to be some digits missing. That's just bad luck. What are the lads going to eat now?

I got a chuckle out of that.

I have been away during the weekend and therefore I have not been able to check up with the lads so much. But on Friday morning i had a chance to make a short call to the lads. And they were back in Abidjan. And one of them was in a hospital with an ulcer. And that is good news.

So he wanted some cash, which I of course didn't send. All I sent him was lies and invalid and partial reference numbers. So naturally he got a bit pissed and sent me this text among others.

Interestingly around 5:00 you can hear the call to prayer in the background if you listen carefully. Great work streding these lads, they are close to despair.

ETA: Ulcers! Laughing

Ulcer!

Those lads are truly miserable. They deserve it.

And a new icon! Very nice work!

Sadly no, only old icons in my siggy. If that is what you meant. And if the lad sounded sleepy there is a reason for that. I called them before I went to work at 6am. But in Abidjan the time was 4am due to the time difference. No wonder they were sleepy.

Sadly I think that Camara and his friend have made it home now. I got a short call from them yesterday and then they were heading to Accra and already in Ghana. But he called me late last night so I will call him when I get home from work today and see how he is. I think there is a decent chance to stir up some emotions.

I'm just slow-I hadn't noticed your 50 safari award previously.

Replacing the receiver, Mr Geoffrey looked out of his Bouake Hotel window, frowning. He had just taken a traumatic call from one of those 2 poor Ghanaians who strangely, had been unable to find his Hotel. The wretched man sounded empty and depressed, his recent Safari to Bouake clearly etched on his mind. What they had gone through! Starvation, thirst, unable to wash, tramping the arid, dusty streets like 2 disturbed, angry beggars. With the treacherous Randy and Mb@yo now languishing in the nearby jail, Geoffrey was still determined to help his old friend in Sweden, Mr Alois and get the deal done...
