9 / 10 February - Grand Popo, Benin, beaches or




2 lazy days. On Monday morning we come from Abomey and head for the coast. Grand Popo to arrive early enough, so there is plenty of time to choose a good locale. And this beach is important. It turns out that the ocean here is of great waves, so swimming is very difficult. For this beach does not sin purity. We go away to the guesthouse. Prices high, average beach - oh, we become more and more demanding ... Finally we get to the hotel Awal Plage, which has even a swimming pool. Prices of rooms (actually half the bungalows) are acceptable, the beach cleared. Many are not thinking decide to stay here. Grand Popo hardly a village, it is simply a resort with plenty of restaurants, bars and guesthouses. Apart from anything else is not here. In the afternoon we go for dinner. Prices in our hotel are prohibitive, except that we give to make someone on the outside. Fufu come to the bar. Big Mama fufu served with sauce and meat or fish. We decide to have a meal with her, all this at a terrific price, that is less than 1E per person. Fufu good sauce, too. Meat, as usual, made of 80% of the bone. At some point, little daughter of the owner gives us a toothpick and a white powder in a cup. Since fufu seemed little salty, a little bit of salt. I take a piece of their mouths and ...... it was not salt, and washing powder to wash their hands after lunch!! As well, it does not 'posoliłam' entirety, and only a small part. It's actually the only adventure that day:) The evening we spend in the next bar, 'Carrefour'.
next day from the morning enjoy the sun bath and try to swim in the ocean, but it is very difficult, because the waves and current are very large. That is why we are moving to the pool where the water has a temperature of the soup, but at least it does not flood the human waves. Eat lunch at our favorite bar, 'Carrefour', which as it turns out is a great cook and a fish and a nice-sounding Rognon, which turned out to be gizzards, they are very well seasoned, as there does not happen too often. It should also be noted that VanPur advertise here in every shop and bar. Everywhere, it can also be purchased. As it turned out to have three versions of the usual clear, strong 10% and drinks (that too im not ashamed of such a thing to export soft it can poison a man only).
These lazy days are cool, but we are missing already active, so tomorrow we go on to Ouidah to get famous by slaves, which millions of people pass one last time to leave Africa on a journey to an unknown continent, where they waited for working extremely hard, or death in the road.
