So 4 teachers, 2 nurses, 1 pharmacist, 1 photographer and myself set off on the hour journey with the biggest stretch of roundabouts in Benin! (that is not a true fact, it just felt like there were alot of roundabouts!)
(L to R - Back Teacher, Nurse, Me, Teacher, Teacher)(L to R - Front Nurse, Teacher, Pharmacist)
Our main aim was to feed the monkeys ... now i think we soon all discovered that we didn't really even know what this actually meant, or even what kind of monkeys they were, but the people that had been before us had enjoyed it enough to convince us to go, so gone we had!
Now what else that day had in store was left up to impulse!
Firstly we decided that it would be best to go to the market to get some bananas for the monkeys, which i have to admit was a very clever plan, and after negotiating though the small walkways we made it out the other side and was very much on our way to the monkeys.
Now there was one slight problem ... we didn't actually at any point while in the market stop to get any bananas ... so the 2 i had brought with me was just going to have to do ...
So the monkeys seemed rather interested in us as did we with them so it all seemed nice enough, well until one of them told a little pee on PJ :) But we still gave them our only 2 bananas and that was about that
Well there was a little time for us to do some monkey impressions ourselves ... here be cabin 4336 and myself up a tree :)
So we just took in a little more of Porto Novo after our monkey time, a few of the group went in a local museum (which by the sounds of it was pretty shocking!) and then it was time to come back to the ship in time for me to catch the 5pm showing of Wolves V West Ham :)
