Mike's Pilot Log: South to South Adventure

All our travels in this town are by mobilette (small scooters)...

Spent an hour trying to find an Internet café. 4 hours in the Nigerian embassy, were told to come back the next day. Both Olivier and I are at the limit of our patience, mostly because of the way they teat us. Olivier went off with a German chap who has been living in Cotonou for 20 years while I went back to the hotel. All our travels in this town are by mobilette (small scooters) – the drivers go like maniacs and I wonder if this is where we will die. If not from an accident then from the pollution! I must admit it gets the adrenaline going. Sometimes we ride 3 on one mobilette – scary!
