We had tried the African coconuts in Oudiah, Benin. The coconut water tasted great and the white part, still semi soft, was even better. Back then, Sweet Potato commented that we should get our own coconuts since there were so many coconut trees around, to which I replied that the coconut trees were way too high. The episode got lost in the memories… till our first day in Togo!
Driving in a desert beach full of coconuts trees and without breakfast, we started dreaming about eating the green fruits hanging up there. I decided to try with a rope and a water bottle!

Trying over and over again, I finally was able to get the rope over a coconut! More, moving the rope from one side to the other, I was able to get it down!! To open the coconut, I just used the monkey technique i.e. cracking it with against a stone.
Half an hour after started trying, we were finally able to eat it. Superman would be proud of me :)
