Transport from the Ghanaian border
When you get through the border formalities from Ghana, you'll be besieged, as is usually the case in Africa, by people offering transportation to Lome. The prices sound reasonable enough for a journey of some kilometers. However, you should be aware that the border is essentially in Lome: you could easily walk to the city center, and even more easily to several hotels popular with visitors. In other words, you'll pay way more than you should for a very short ride, and there's no refund from the delighted driver (even by Western standards, people are often charged a lot of money). If you accept a ride to the city centre, bargain upfront, or else refuse and walk if you don't have much luggage. You'll have a first opportunity to check out the seafront walk into the bargain!
