I arrived safely on Monday night, and the flights w**e seamless. I had a bit of a cramp in my back due to my heavy carry-on, but its finally gone now. We arrived at the hotel (Chelsea Hotel) only to find out the the lock on my room door was broken. I thought it was funny...th**e's a million things that can go wrong on an int**national trip, but ev**ything was p**fect until I got to the door of my hotel room. It was 11:30 at night before they finally opened the door for me and I could crash on...
Abuja, Nigeria lee.carter... R&R in the Sh**aton Hotel and around the grounds.<br><br><br><br>June 1st - Today is the last day for Ian, Kirsten and Jen who are flying to Calabar tomorrow so that they can be in Cam**oon in plenty of time for their flights, this is due to the delay in visas for the rest of us. It's also Ian's 25th birthday today. Walked to the National Mosque nearby and we w**e allowed inside and we could take pictures also walked into the National Christian Church just up ...
Abuja, Nigeria andrewsinclair... in the casino courtesy of some rick white folk, and some lashed out on rooms too. We eventaully did as well for one night, but sensibly i jumped up at 6:30am, got the room and that meant we had it for a full 30 hours as check out was not until 12pm. It was lovely to read in bed, watch a movie and chill out away from ev**ybody else.<br><br>Drinks w**e v**y expensive too, except for the 6-7pm happy hourt in the Elephant bar, when drinks w**e 1/2 ...
Abuja, Nigeria sabenafrica... it has gone past its prime and two C**elac tins which I devoured in three days. Yummy. I could also take the time to relax and watch the news, all of them bad in a world gone mad. When the passport finally came out, the lack of intelligence of our diplomats once more came und** the spotlight when I saw the numb** of days I was to be allowed in each country and the date from which the visas w**e to become effective and to expire. We w**e the 13th of February and the following ...
Abuja, Nigeria ikono... all the men a piece of my mind. Anyway back to today - pulling out of Abuja we drove north towards out destination of Wikki Warm Springs located within the Yankari National Park. Blessed with anoth** hot day and clear blue skies we drove past sandy sometimes grassed cov**ed t**rain which then turned into rocky hills dotted with hut style villages or the occasional bigg** more vibrant town, wh**e bougainvillea shone red, pink and orange ...
Abuja, Nigeria oliveramber... It was *nly lat** that I und**st**d that this was n*t in Abuja, but in Nasarawa state, which explained the l*ng ride. We went t* the same place as last time but we w**e earli** this time s* it was m*re quiet than last time. H*wev**, as I was sick I did n*t drink and I was tired and we went h*me ar*und eight, as I wanted t* rest. In an attempt t* get m*re awake I f*rced d*wn the rest *f the k*la nut, using malta (a v**y sweet n*n-alc*h*lic drink) t* neutralize the bitt ...
Abuja, Abuja, Nigeria oyvindsandve... but then again that is a pretty straight forward city, known for email fraud and not violent crime. If you ev** got an '*****ia mail asking to give away your bank account numb**, I can bet you it was coming from Ibadan. So I have some int**esting days ahead, and I hope I will meet some int**esting people and .not any bad guys. I'll take the 8 hour bumpy ride as last time and hopefully I will get a bett** seat than last time. Time will show, so stay tuned for more happy days☺
Abuja, Nigeria oyvindsandve... e, and If I started to explain them what it is all about, I do not think they would even try to und**stand. Hence, I keep my opinions to myself. In addition to this, the restaurant is closed on Sundays so I had to find a place to have breakfast. Aft** walking forev**, I found a Chinese place that was really expensive, but I needed food so I took it. In the aft**noon, I got to know the area a bit bett** and I strolled around this green area right next to the hotel. I am glad I ...
Abuja, Nigeria oyvindsandve... w while young and old w**e dancing togeth** and it was v**y nice. I meet many nice people and I had a really great time. Around eleven, it was time to go as people v**y working the next day. Two oth**s and myself took motorbikes for 10 minutes to get to a taxi central, and it was nice. In Norway, I would be scared, h**e it is just normal. You drive in 70-80 km/h without helmet and th**e is v**y little light. In addition, it is unheard of to hold on to the bike ...
Abuja, Nigeria oyvindsandve... Nev**theless, we got food and coffee, I ended up talking to a lead** of a Muslim society, and he invited me to come and pray with them. So I got his numb**, and I'll think about it☺ Aft** the lecture, the Muslim part of the office went to pray, while the rest of us went back to the office. T**fa is a Muslim, so it was only Ngosi and me. She started talking about my religion, and I told h** that I am not v**y religious and that I believe in god and nothing more, no ...
