Benin #1: Resting near Natitingou

Janet and I spent 10 days at Centre Liweitari in the hills around the northern town of Natitingou, Benin.

We arrived planning for 7 days there and 7 days in Parakou (my old hunting grounds) but it was so calm and restful we almost immediately asked to extend our stay.

 In the afternoons we walked along the brook in the valley below (photo of the centre taken from there)

We got to stay in the house of missionaries currently in Europe so had all the mod cons. It had a flat roof with a great view of the valley (see next post for photos) and solar ovens, which we ended up ordering from their project.
