To get to Togoville and the Lake Togo area (east of Lome), take the 15-minute ferry ride from Agbodrafo to Togoville and have the driver or tour bus pick you up on the Togoville side. While in Togoville, spend an hour at the German church (which contains paintings of African saints), then stroll about, looking at the protective fetishes and carvings on local homes. Be sure to ride in a pirogue (dugout canoe) on pelican-laden Lake Togo, which is girded by a spectacular forest. 30 mi/50 km northeast of Lome.
