Cotonou, Benin, March 26, 2010


A space travel is a journey in time. No search travel there without leaving the cosmos, the cosmos does not exist without experience, no life. The experience is broader than reality .... in search of the exotic, which is where the colors of the imagination. (Walace Stevens)

Hi all after such a long time !!!!! Not that we do not have time, but laziness sometimes wins when getting to work a little on the computer.

The good news is that we decided to go a bit further south.

Togo After leaving, we picked the Bobo Dioulasso Ricardo, through Ouaga again, to keep a child starting to pull strings to sell the Patrol and go on the trip with a little bit more for pocket money.

In Bobo Ricardo found a well into the jembe and dun dun, his hands made a Christ. It has come to Burkina for a month to study percussion and has now a couple of weeks at the home of David. David's little we can say, just to be meeting him in person. As always the change of energy in this type of trip is pure air, and it is always a great pleasure to find on a trip to old friends, and feeling that has been well pull.

spent a weekend getting to know the area Bamfora with Riki, Badam and Yassuf (the percuss) and some beautiful waterfalls not recommended on weekend, (worse than Aguapark)

and while they return to their daily duties test, we go to a pond, where we eat mosquitoes but of those places that emanate a lot of peace, and go about missed clues to the border with Mali.

Back in Bobo and hoping to find the child by contrast, we hear of this in Ouagadougou with malaria, but it seems be recovering favorably. We decided to wait on Bobo, where we meet Sophia, who is staying at the house of David, with the theme of the Couch surfing. So do a little more tourism in the area in the Sea of \u200b\u200bhiccups, and the area Ginget the perfect place to make more bearable infernal heat of these last days, 'happening to us the day stuck in this river of us over 40 cm deep.


Returning to contact the child, explains that the hospital you were charged 500 euros for the treatment fabulous and has decided to sell the car in, take a plane and return home.

At that time, and doubts in the head, decided to go a little trip, way south, Nigeria and if possible travel in Cameroon. It calls for beginning the Jose des Spain's attempt to get us the absurd and expensive meat Passage, which is essential to cross certain boundaries that they came up with fragon. As far as the van arrives, nothing else!


the project already in mind, we turn all to a large family, with Ricardo and Sofia of passengers back to Ouagadougou. There we saw the Child. Had spent five days of hospitalization and out, with a few kilos less, but way to be back again at night in the city, there's nothing like being young. We take time in the city to try to turn up the front suspension of the fragon. Everything and spend time , Effort, energy and money, the thing seems to be so easy, when placed in the hands of some great thieves, and success continues to be more than relative and disappointing. So we decided to make a further investment in more or less decent tires for what we can come from now on in gaps tracks we've heard about, and gain a little but the chassis.


Sofia, who until now thought to take their plane from Dakar in a month, intends to join, and accept with pleasure. So we signed with the Ecuadorian French nationality within fragonafrica. Multilingual and with great people skills, suddenly becomes our public relations, not bad, not bad.


With the new component set and we set off road in Benin, to get us a visa to Nigeria. In two days without any incident we are back in Ouidah, Luis revisiting, if only for a few hours because the plan is to leave early to Cotonou to ask the visa.

Upon arrival we say we have to wait a day because only processed on Tuesday, so we are forced to make a one-month extension of our visa beninuá. Here it complicates things, because immigration is not too friendly, even to throw us in the face passport. Bounce, we find an old friend of Grand Popo, Florence, which we had taken into his house last time we were in Benin, and we are well advised to go to the English consulate, who happens to be his friend ... someone believes in coincidences? .. . And we resort to the honorary consulate English, we take a cable, especially since I still have the problem of having the passport is full (no coments). We finally got the passports accept us, asking for an exact address where we will be staying in the country, and of course the phone number .. certainly confirm it .. incredible. We enjoyed a terrific dinner Florence and Inma house, his English wife.


Day Thursday, and with our passports with visa stamps superimposed on older, we went to the Nigerian embassy, \u200b\u200bbut we find that the consul is unavailable, so you have to wait till Tuesday next ( shit!). We decided to spend some quiet days after the stress bureaucratic, and go to Ouidah, with our friends Luis and his son Imar, who have been two months enjoying the beach life beninuá. Now that's a man trip.

On Tuesday we are back early and walk from the Nigerian Embassy, nerviosillos a bit, but we have been saying they are giving visas very easily, as fast as on the same day .. seems incredible but we are confident that that day will be the way of Nigeria. After waiting more than now in a waiting room between Indian, Pakistani, French and some lost Eastern Europe, it is our turn to do the interview with the consul. Start the wrong thing, asking with his characteristic tone of power, why do not we have our visas in our countries of origin. After striking up a conversation, explain reasons and referring especially in the Nigeria Embassy in Ouagadougou us told us to come to Cotonou, in bastard visa denied us all and explain that I go to Lagos to urgently arrange the papers to renew my passport. We are left with long faces and confused, but Sofia tells us to leave, she stays to try to achieve. After half an hour of waiting out laughing saying Sofia in the end got it, and only ask us to deliver the verbal note, I mean a respective letter of our embassies. Sofia apparently uses the famous strategy ... to get to mourn and pray! Go women .. live theater and the cards up his sleeve!

Let's talk to the English consul and is to leave the country until Friday ... shit! And Sophie said in the French consulate, they do not issue such documents, only for diplomatic passports and thus can not help .. shit! What have we done to deserve this! It really is too much for us to have to be going through all these formalities, which seems to be not lead us anywhere. Inma call, the wife of Florance, which currently is the representative of Oxfam International in this area, to give us the English consul particular phone, but the cell phone number that appears gives off, and from her office Priority Mail write to see if you can delegate powers to the time of making the document. Middle and a one million desperate plan B in the head, going to rest on the beach.
The next day, the fantastic Hermione, secretary of the English consulate, the consul replied that has agreed to delegate to it the power to handle the document .. Hallelujah!. At last it seems that everything is going to solve, in addition to that document noted the three names, including Sofia, arguing that this is Ecuador the country represented by Spain where they do not have a consulate or embassy, \u200b\u200band we accompany the Embassy Hermione, to facilitate clearance.

Mama mia! We went with the visas! And if not happy, exhausted, frightened, .. but today if you play a nice cold beer, and two. The same day, we stayed with a contact who told us came to Lagos, to avoid many of the myriad problems that arise with the police in the few kilometers from Cotonou to Lagos, and it is said that some 25 police checkpoints, a which most corrupt, and this guy not know how much charge, but at least see how to handle these Nigerians. The meeting with him just anything, and more scared because they said that by bringing such a vehicle, referring of course to our immaculate van, we will ask the amazing fortune of a deposit of approximately one million francs Cephas, which should be at hand, about 1500 eurakens of good. We believe it all, but other sources speak of Nanai of China, who as tourists do not have to pay such amounts nowhere near
So here we are still in Cotonou, in a pensioncilla, waiting tomorrow, perhaps the days of crossing into Nigeria. Imshalá!
not
Saying goodbye without saying that you know what I want and I miss that news of newborns are immense joy, that pregnancies that do grow those bellies, go ahead, that injustice of forest in our beloved mountains fade with the air spring, a thousand thanks Jose and Ricardo at the car documents, that the Ninho get lucky in selling their car to return soon to house.;
that love and health are shared by all unconditionally ... a million hugs and kisses to all ... ... ... ..
