On the way to Dassa in Central Benin. Some 300 km.
We planned to visit the Pendjari National Park. As the rainy season started we were afraid the roads might not be practicable and the park closed.

In Laufenburg we opened the entrance door of our apartment just to discover that it was not any warmer than our house in Maseru during the winter months: 9 degrees.
