Dear Mister 0kunlola,

I have recieved a request from one of our guests currently staying at
the 5imba safari camp - Benin.

Apparently you were expected to arrive at Camp last night but
unfortunately missed your shuttle bus collection from Cotonou.
Please do not worry, this is easily resolved.

Our shuttle bus service runs regularly back and forth between Cotonou
and the safari Camp, so we are confident that we can offer you transport
that will suit your needs.

To remind you, our friendly and knowledgeable driver/guide will collect
you from outside the:
Novotel Orisha,
Boulevard de la Marina
Cotonou
Benin
at 3.45pm local time.

It is important that you bring a copy of your shuttle bus voucher with
you so that our driver/guide will be able to check your name against our
expected guestlist.

We look forward to welcoming you and are sure that you will be delighted
to have chosen to stay at the 5imba Safari Camp during your visit to
Benin.

Great job locking this lad down for another day. It's really like having a lad pay for his stay in jail. I'm sure the hotel management is keeping the lad's passport secure and that they will collect their charges. We have a saying at work- "Another day, another dollar."

An accident! I hope the driver is ok.

Hahaha, not another accident? What is the life expectancy of these shuuttle drivers?

I think tomorrow he should head on up to Parakou..... then on to Natitingou, and then... maybe to the park...

Nice work, Esq! Thumbs up

^There has been a "glitch" with the "Hotel le Majestic"... Aparently they are telling clients of 5imba 5afari that said 5afari does not esist Shocked

Surely this is due to hostile competition &/or bickering between the 2 hotels Laughing

(maybe find another pick-up point)

Gee, I expected a much more hostile email than that! They didn't even balk at forking over two days in a hotel in a differnt country? Maybe these guys are too rich for their own good. A longer safari might bring out the beast in them. Try for another hook up, and rebait them from another account, I say! Smile
