Scenes from our travels

A few things we saw on our most recent travels. Firstly, a lorry which had broken down completely blocking the road! Apparently he knew he was running out of diesel, thought he'd turn around and go back to Parakou ... and ran out entirely while turning round! Here he is:

The taxi which stopped in front of us opened its boot to give the sheep some air:

This is a bus we saw as we left Parakou the next day, which presumably doesn't belong to a French football team any more...

This is the kind of thing we see far too much of:

You can carry anything on the back of a motorbike (though presumably it was empty!):

And this is what we actually see during most of our journey down the country. Frankly not all that interesting!
