A day in Cotonou

A view of downtown Cotonou from the offices of Telecel the mobile phone operator here in Benin. A warm day in a city full of moped taxi's that zoom around shuttling a population quickly around town.

Benin's last elections had 26 presidential candidates of which an independent won, who came from a banking/finance background. It's similar to Accra in it's hussle and bussle but a little less congested due to the moped and motorbikes everywhere.

Looks like a trip to Abidjan will happen in the morning...still negotiating final terms with the Chinese before confirming the flights. Good I packed for extra days!
