Dear Martin

I am writing to thank you very much for the attentive and special care you extended to us during our days with you in Togo and Benin.

We had some wondrous travels – and thank you very much for taking us to such interesting places and for giving us so many excellent experiences. Going into the villages with you and to Pendjari with Marcel were definitely the highlights.

We are so impressed by all that you have achieved, Martin, and what a wonderful programme you have developed to cover Togo and Benin. And you are the very best driver EVER! Anyway we finally made it home safely….. with many, many happy memories to savour. We both send you our warmest wishes – and wish you safe travels back to Europe this week.

PS Hope to see you in London.

Hi Martin,

Once again, thank you for taking such good care of me…I soooo appreciate all you did and all you showed us. It was a wonderful journey Hi Martin!

Big Hugs,

Dear Martin

Thank you very much for this – and we are both fine!

The first edition of the Let’s Celebrate 365 magazine is already at the Printers, and I am unable to change anything. However, as soon as I receive the copies, I will send you a couple.

And I will also send one to Achille, and thanks for telephoning him. What is his PO Box address in Porto Novo?

I am sending out more mail shots for our next tour with you in January – and I will keep you informed of developments. We’ll speak soon.

Best regards

Dear Martin

Very good to hear from you. We are well but very cold as it’s snowing and the temperature is -8c!!

We had lunch with Jane and Michael yesterday, and they very much enjoyed their travels with you through Togo and Benin (apart form the problem with the Togo visas!).

It’s so easy from there to walk to the Festival, then come back for lunch, have a swim etc, and then return to the Festival for shopping afterwards.

Dear Martin

So many thanks to you from us all for

Such a well- organized trip. Have you been able to download the images of Dahomey from Le Petit Journal de 1892 that I sent this afternoon?

Best regards

Dear Martin,

I’m fine and back at the office after my holiday. I hope this e-mail finds you well?

We received information from our clients and the tourguide that the last trip was successfully operated. Our clients were happy and satisfied and everything was well organised from your side. Very much appreciated! Happy clients are the best advertisement for our trips and they will definitely spread the good word to others.

Thank you very much for this!

Kind regards,

Hi Martin,

How are you? I’m fine and I’m happy to hear from you! I hope one day to visit you in Benin and see your lovely country. I hope everything is running smooth with the operation of this tour?

As Jolein is on holiday (in Namibia) I will inform you if there are new participants on the voodootour. At the moment I have 10 pax. Please find attached the namelist. If there are any new clients I will inform you right away!

Dear Martin,

How are you? I’m happy to read that our mutual clients are happy as they are our most important advertisement. They will inform friends and family about this tour which will bring new people.

Ok that the money has arrived in your account. We still have 10 clients for the next tour. I will inform you about new future bookings.

Thank you for your effort to make this tour a success!

Hello Martin,

It’s me again knocking on your door. I’m busy planning three departuredates for our festival tour. On in December 2008, One in January 2009 (reverse route) and one December 2009.I have run into a problem with the one December 2008, as Air France is not flying daily in/out Lom  and Cotonou. They fly on Lom  on Tuesday, Thursday and saturdays. They fly in/out Cotonou Monday, wednesday, friday and Sunday. This means we have to change something (at the end of ) the program to make sure our guest will be in Ouidah on the festivalkdate.See in the attachment the problem.Is it possible to move day 12 in between day 13 & 14? So visiting Ganvie after the festival. Or do you have better suggestions?

Please be so kind to advise me.

Best regards,
