Last photos from that dusk landing at Cotonou’s Cadjahoun International airport in Benin that we showed you in one previous post. Indeed, somewhat scraping the bottom of the barrel on these airplane from-the-air shots, but it’s also the mood: one boards mid-day in Brussels, flies south and west, makes a stop some seven hours later to discharge and take on passengers in a place one’s only ever seen on a map before…one sits in one’s seat for 45 minutes while that happens, watching ground crews at work and wondering when one will get to lie down in a real bed and sleep…and then one’s off again to the next airport. Somehow somewhat surreal, I guess.
Some of Benin’s coastline, seen on the far side of what my map tells me is most likely Lake Nokoue, as our plane lined up for a mostly-cloudy dusk landing at Cotonou Cadjahoun International airport for a stopover during my flight from Brussels to Abidjan in late April.
