Where coffee fits

Use the pause between real city anchors.

  • Start with Honme Museum or Marche Ouando when the day needs context.
  • Use Santa Claudia for a calmer coffee or light stop.
  • Keep Songhai Restaurant as the meal anchor rather than adding more scattered stops.

Porto-Novo pages become useful when they name places people can actually use. A cafe stop should sit between the museum, market, and meal instead of replacing them.

If the day is hot or transport is slow, keep the pause close to the route and avoid inventing a cafe crawl.
