Bolingo Hotel and Towers Abuja

... capital) to obtain Cam**oon and Angola visas, which proved quite the delay. Finally aft** 9 nights, we left our cushy pad at the back of the Sh**aton hotel...well aft** we ov**stayed our welcome!! Th**e w**e many that took the opportunity to splash out on rooms and hang by the pool, or ov**indulge in the variety of bars and restaurants. Some w**e sad to leave the plush surrounds, while oth**s w**e pleased to get back on ...

... outnumb** the men by about 4 to 1. They are all prostitutes. I walked in and was groped on num**ous occasions. I was treated like a piece of meat.... I had to drag some of the oth** guys into the place to make sure I was not dreaming or something like that. They also got the same attention. In the end I had to have one of the girls on the trip act as my wife to try and calm them down, that didn't work. By 12 ...

... air that inspired such totems became unbearable and the furth** I got close to it, the hard** that desire burnt inside me. Things didn't happen in such a way to favour this visit, so, no hard feelings, but I had to skip Lagos for the time being. The immigration offic** on the Benin side was so conc**ned for my safety, she insisted in getting someone to put me in a taxi and paid for it. That crippled my chances of getting free accommodation with the guy that would have picked me ...

... once again in sleep. W**en't leaving till 9 so had plenty of time to enjoy a nice hot show** and wash my hair. How hair can fill with so much dust in just a day I've no idea. Drinks with Pet** ended up continuing on into the wee hours of the morning with Luke, Jamie, Clara and possibly a few oth**s only getting to bed around 5am. So glad Oliv** and I made tracks around 11. Could think of nothing worse than being hungov** on a drive day. So it ...

... 20 minutes we make it through. No signs to Abuja so just follow peak hour traffic... and a lot of traffic th**e is. Aft** being blocked from getting off at a few exits we finally do and manage to find the Sh**aton without much hassle, arriving at 8:45pm. Yes that's right - a truck load of us grubby backpack**s pulling into the Sh**aton Hotel. Mum works h** magic and manages to secure us (for free) prime real estate in their ...

... m*vies, and luckily, we had electricity m*st *f the evening s* it w*rked *ut fine. Next day was the same, watching m*vies and relaxing. H*wev**, it was 17 may, N*rway's nati*nal day and I felt that *nly sitting inside was rath** b*ring s* Act*r and I went t* Abacha barracks t* have s*me r*asted fish. The r*asted fish is m*re *r less the *nly f**d I really like h** in *****ia, even if I have b*ught pizza the last week n*w, as I d* n*t want any m*re chicken. We went t ...

... is really useful for me. Aft** a while, we decided to sit outside as the neighbours had a party. It was a 'one year aft** my husband died' party and it was mainly women from a minority tribe in the east. They w**e dancing and shouting, as African women do. It was v**y nice and we had much fun watching them. Off course we had be** and the kids w**e running to the small local place had picking them up for us as we went along. Around seven, this oth** guy was going home so I ...

... 40 degrees, so we w**e thirsty and off course, we went. This cool place turned out to be some kind of township, or at least a v**y rural area. Just crossing the street was a story in itself, and aft** 2 minutes, we barely made it. The place was filled with bars, exclusively plastic chairs. We headed towards Actor's place and that was the one filled with the cutest girls, which was ok with me. Actor did not like be**, so he was drinking 11, 5% wine like it was wat**. I stuck ...

... he thought that he could win a noble price. He was dead s**ious and I had some problems keeping my cool. Nonetheless, he is a nice guy and I appreciate the effort, but I promise you to donate a kidney if he wins the Nobel price in lit**ature. Aft** that I went to the market, which is a v**y busy place on Saturdays. I walked around and tried to find a nice shirt, but they don't have the nice ones, as the one I bought in Zambia. Because I'm white, people w**e ...

... I worked on the thesis from seven in the evening to almost one in the morning. I now have 28 000 words (out of 30 00), and still needs 4-6000 words, which means that I'm at least not struggling to get enough words. How good it is, is anoth** matt**. I hope they can give me some good feedback at CDD before I go home. By the way, it seems like the comment button works now so please post a comment and celebrate that it is up and running again;)
