摘要

Arrived at Cotonou airport almost on schedule in spite of spending over two hours on the runway at Heathrow due to delays in Paris caused by deicing of planes prior to take off. We experienced a dramatic contrast in weather between snowstorms in France and the humid heat of West Africa.On the ship we found there were problems with the issue of shore passes for crew and permission for the ship's Land Rovers and other vehicles being cleared for use on land. This was probably due to the refusal to pay 'bribes' to local customs officials, who, two days before, had arrived on board optimistically carrying empty bags but had taken them away still empty! I had an interesting discussion with Dr Gary about the issue of when is a bribe a gift and vice versa. That evening we watched the thought-provoking documentary 'Sickd by Michael Moore about the health care available in the USA compared unfavourably to UK, Canada, France and Cuba.
