Xmas Grand Popo

Just like 20 years ago we spent Christmas at Grand Popo in Benin.

We did find the exact same spot.

It is a lovely spot, just a days drive from Accra, but you have to cross two borders.


The beaches are clean, but because of the steep increase at the beach the waves can slam you on the beach even breaking bones. The hotel is in a lovely setting with plenty of space, palm trees on the beach and it is quiet. What else do you need.

This is where the trucks were parked in 1995, it is a bit greener now.


See the slope, the waves crash on there specially at high tide.

Nearly full moon

Christmas dinner was a buffet with duck, fish, pig and side dishes.





To capture the Christmas spirit we brought our own Santa.




We followed the road to the end and found some interesting villages.







All in all a merry Christmas.
