I'm on the ship in Benin, West Africa!

I have finally arrived and am now on the ship.  My journey was thankfully very smooth and whilst a little long it was very pleasant.  Currently I haven't seen much as we arrived fairly late and very tired, but a few observations I've made are:
  • Africa is hot, very hot, even at 10pm
  • You can always feel the ship swaying
  • The doors are heavy
  • And I find big groups of new people very intimidating
But I am really happy to be here and look forward to getting stuck into my job and ship life over the coming weeks.
