Benin

Then at the Benin border the police were soo lovely then we made our way to Tanguieta I was sick eww but we spent new years at Baobab Hotel they had music and stuff so it was okey. Then we made our way to Natitingou by then Maddy left us. We got to Le Vieux Chevalier hotel and dumped our bags then got a zed from the hotel to town in search of a internet cafe we didnt find one so went to have a drink and there were these scary men watching us so we went back up to the hotel then we went back out for dinner. All we had was an omlet each and the son of the owner came out with us for dinner. We were getting strange looks and felt uncomfortable so we got up early then got a car to Boukoumbe, the border going past the Tata Somba villages. Although CG told the taxi driver to stop at the police station he kept on going and said it didn't matter, so from the next taxi station we had to get zeds (motorbike taxis) to the police station 5minutes away. The police stamped us out of Benin and our zed drivers drove us back but the taxi met us half way.

The taxi was extremely full, stacked up with sacks very high, we had to get in the front and I had to sit on the drivers seat and one foot was on the passenger side and one was where the drivers foot was. After a long 10minute drive we got to a checkpoint and the policeman said we couldn't get our passports stamped there but we would have to go down to Kande, and then about 2kms up we arrived in Nadoba and bought some gifts in the market and got another taxi to Kande.
