Ted, if you dont trust the people writing here, not sure what da **** are u doing here.
Milton, hmm, no comment..
About Ghana: it is not necessary, as I wrote above, my spanish friend crossed without a carnet, no prob. With bike. You might get problems depending who is working at the border that day. Try next day, if unlucky. Dont shout.
Tom, dont listen to what an embassy said or whatever, they dont care, I had ambassadors telling me that it is impossible to cross into certain African countries without a carnet.
Sb wrote that Africa is impossible on a shoestring. Bullshit. Visas and and lasser passers all across west coast was about 580 euros. No bribes paid, and no insurance bought, exept for a couple of countries.
I dont see any point in this discussion anymore. javier already in 2006 wrote about this carnet necessity thingy, nb gives a shit, and info on the carnet page is kept unchanged. Those who have money, will keep buying carnet, I am writing for those guys, whose whole budget is the cost of the carnet, or even half of that. Just go guys.
