7. 1. Temple Voodoun de la lumière

Joachim and Maryam were sick, they stayed in their room all day. Igor asked for Manuel´s moped to make his own trash research in town.
We wanted to get an invitation to the Voodoo festival of the King of Allada, so Manuel, Stefan and me were going to visit prince Bokpe at his Voodoo Temple of Light. We waited in a room decorated with photographs showing the prince with different politicians, e.g. Bundeskanzler Schröder of Germany.
The prince was not there, but his mother gave us a warm welcome and made a voodoo ceremony of protection for us. After water, cola nut, local schnaps and coca cola we felt a bit dizzy and went to a beach bar nearby to have a drink. The place was owned by a woman from Switzerland, and there were some European guests. A man from Germany told us about a big dump site out of Cotonou, on the way to Porto Novo, the capital of Benin. About 20 people were living there. We had our plan for the next day.
