Took off before the sun was up. It was a good flight,
the weather was clear for most of the way – had to do some cloud dodging and low level flying over thick bush for a few hours. After 5 hours we landed at Cotonou, Benin. We parked the trikes and rushed by mobilette
(little scooter taxis) to the Nigerian embassy – the 3rd Nigerian embassy. Spent 3 hours in the Nigerian embassy, were told to come back the next day. Very frustrating, being ignored, hissed at like a dog, and weren't even allowed to fill a visa application in.
Booked into a cheap hotel.
Bad hayfever, very lumpy bed – about the worst on the trip because the springs dug into my ribs.
Have nearly done half of Africa.
