Angeles Hotel Abuja

... w**e screaming and waving in our trail.<br><br> It soon also became apparent why tourists normally would avoid our chosen route - the dirt roads w**e horrific, with massive pot holes and corrugations. It took 5 hours to travel 57km the first day, and 12 hours for 280kms the following day. Howev** the worst the road, the bett** the welcome! We drove through villages in which ev**y kid (ov** 150 at one village) ran out to ...

... aft** us yelling and screaming just at the sight of us. In all my travels I have nev** had an exp**ience like this and I will nev** forget it. Memorable.<br><br>The bord** crossing was anoth** exp**ience with the officials trying to find an excuse to find a discrepancy in our pap**work. Especially the yellow fev** c**tificates. As it turns out my c**tificate which was issued by the World Health Organisation was not yellow enough but more of an orange color, also the date was done not to the ...

... paragem em Libreville (Gabão), met**am-me num hotel enquanto aguardava que o passaporte fizesse o tour das embaixadas em questão (Camarões, Gabão e Congo) e um coxe de massa no bolso para refeições e outros mambos. Até me p**miti a dois luxos: uma barra de Mars que no entanto tinha um sabor estranho, não sei se **a porque tinha apanhado muito sol ou se porque tinha sido fabricado na Arábia Saudita e duas latinhas pequenas de C**elac que pitei em 3 dias. Comi muito ananás e plantain ...

... So yes long drive day today. Left camp around 7.30 and will probably drive straight through till 6ish. Yest**day we drove 100km in 4-5 hours so really not sure how we're going to do 450km today - pray the roads are good... which so far they have been albeit rath** busy with oth** trucks, bikes, motorcycles, pedestrians, cars - you name it it's on h**e. Turns out roads aren't so good - once again being full of potholes ...

... and f*und that I had all the sympt*ms. Aft** n*t sleeping much that night, I decided t* g* t* the h*spital because I had the sympt*ms *f malaria, and it can be lethal. As I did n*t want t* take malaria pills as I was g*ing t* be h**e f*r such a l*ng time, I was 99 % p**cent sure it was malaria. Aft** meeting the d*ct*r, wh* was a quite attractive w*man I had t* wait *ne h*ur f*r my results. Off c*urse, I had malaria, but as a special treatment, I als* had typh*id ...

... Angel. Actor and I was th**e European time, half an hour early and the rest was African time, an hour late, so we had already eaten our fish which by the way was just as good as last time, and I traded my French fries for Actors fish so I had about a kg fish&#9786;. Egghead had four friends with him and Angel came aft** a while so we w**e a good group. We drank and laughed and sang along with this guy with a guitar. I sang Elvis, in the ghetto, and he played some kind of melody ...

... said that the biggest sum I have earned on BJ was 3000US$ aft** starting with 600US$. So I went home and packed up my stuff. Next morning I left for my new place. I got in and started packing out. Aft** getting settled I went to Wuse market to pick up a shirt I had a tailor make for me. It turned out he was not on job, so my effort was in vain. Aft** walking around I decided to go watch the United game at a place called Ibiza. I think it was 75 % Chelsea fans and as United ...

... But the night dragged on and it lasted for ev**, and I was so hungry. Dinn** was s**ved at ten thirty! And I ate for four people as I was starving. The dinn** was sup**b and by far the best dinn** I have had in *****ia. So that was the evening I did not meet Kofi Annan, but maybe next time:) This weekend I am moving to the oth** side of town, which is much more lively so i hope to have some stories ov** the weekend. Take care ev**yone

... women down h**e are treated like **** by men. Most men are chauvinists and especially towards women on the low** steps of the carri** ladd**. As Ngozi is an int**n (not by choice as all graduates must have an int**nship aft** ended graduation), she cannot quit and she begged me not to say anything in fear of reprisals. It is v**y sad, but hopefully it passes ov**. Wednesday morning I went to the local hospital. It was not anything s ...

... Lizards are ev**ywh**e - we've seen ones with bright green heads and with blue bodies and khaki coloured heads. One thing which we all find amazing is that if you go on holiday or go away from your house for a length of time, you could come back and find that your house has been sold without your p**mission! Many buildings have 'this house is not for sale' written on the sides to prevent this from happening. I don't have much time to write much more but will keep you posted.
