Togo to Benin to Nigeria!
... a transit visa to cross on 48hours, all good! It's a pity we had to leave so quickly so the only highlights were the fishing villages and the traffic going through Cotonou! It's the most insane experience, survival is key and work as a group... It was a proper white knuckle ride, thousands of mopeds muscling their way through the city. Red light? Don't worry one bike starting ro edge forward, then 2, then 5, then 15 hey ho let's all go! I've abandoned indicators ...

Flying IAH-LOS
... at 11:55 a.m. southeast of Bamako, Mali. We had come ashore over Mauritania. Our flight route took us over Burkina Faso and across Ghana, Togo, and Benin. Breakfast was served at 12:30 p.m. – a small piece of grilled salmon, a piece of smoked salmon, fruit bowl, and strawberry yogurt. That was just the “appetizer” portion – then I received scrambled eggs with potatoes as well as a cinnamon roll. A very filling pre-landing service!
We landed ...
