It turned out that Benin was not really the Africa that I had pictured. The wildlife wasn't what I had naively exspected and the city was no way near what i had pictured in my head.

Formalities on the Togo side were pleasant and quick. Benin police took their time filling in all our information into their books before we headed for customs to have our car paper stamped. Once there however the customs man refused to stamp our carnet unless we paid him CFA 5000 we refused and left returnin http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Benin/blog-351673.html Benin Benin a stable democracy and what seems to be a good president investing in healthcare and education. lots of NGOs working all over the placeroads are crumbling and it doesn't seem any much better than it's dictator ridden neighbour that get no funding whatsoever ok not looking at numbers just the visible signs. Granted Lome in neighbouring Togo is really not tidy if you see what I m http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Benin/South/Ouidah/blog-347856.html When planning and packing consider all of the regions and climates that you will be experiencing during your visit. San Jos and the Central Valley has a climate that is fairly temperate and resembles springtime in North America. Therefore lightweight slacks shorts and shortsleeve shirts are in order during the day and a light jacket or sweater is needed for the mornings and evenings.

Ha det bra http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Benin/North/blog-296427.html We arrived in Cotonou and got dropped off at the main market during rush hour. Then followed the most terrifying moto taxi ride of my life. The driver weaved between cars that I thought were going to hit each other at one point I actually put my hand on the hood of a car I thought was going to hit us. I could see though that if he hadnrsquot driven like a maniac we would never have gotten http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Benin/South/Cotonou/blog-293963.html Our first stop in Benin was Grand Popo a small beach town not far from the Togo border.
