Bab's dock

After today, we both agree this is Benin's best-kept secret :) We had such a blast spending our day off together here! To get there, we took a boat ride through a surrounding of trees and greenery that opened up into a beautiful fresh/salt water lagoon. It truly was picturesque! We rode the boat across the lagoon to the dock. There, on the shore is an outdoor restaurant/bar and a large seating/lounging area with sun umbrellas. One of the coolest parts about this place is that the entire lagoon is no deeper than waist level. So you can go as far out as you wish!! It is a little bit touristy, but secluded enough that it was not overcrowded. We had so much fun just relaxing and lounging in the sun, dipping about in the lagoon, sipping fresh pineapple juice, and playing water volleyball!  Yay for the weekend, Mercy Ship friends, and sunshine!
