Shopping in Cotonou

We went shopping again this morning, as is our Saturday morning routine, to buy fruit and other essentials that aren't available in the Ship Shop. First the magnificant, no-hastle, fruit market in Haie Vive...

And then to the Mayfair Supermarche somewhere near the new bridge, which was a bizarre experience. A lot of their supplies seemingly come from England and we were surprised to see many of our favourite chocolate bars (Kit Kat, Milky Bar, Bounty, Picnic, Maltesers, Snickers, Crunchies, Penguins, Lion Bars,Whispas, and various Cadburys bars)...

AND many traditional English biscuits, with their price still on them in Pounds...

As I said, quite bizarre, but a most welcome surprise. What a shame it's Lent. We bought a bottle of washing-up liquid made in Manchester and a bag of flour made in Bolton. Big spenders eh? Olly
