Lekki Inn Lagos

The POGO AFRICA adventure has BEGUN! As all POGO journeys do, with a single "boing". I had to upgrade the stick with a heavy-duty spring, my good friend Jon G convinced me that I was SO FAT that I would break it if I didn't. Thanks for the sound advice, DUDE! :) ANYWAYS I arrived at the Lagos airport, the customs lady ...

... much got stuck as well. Aft** 45 minutes I got to the airport and I was able to change my flight to 17:00 instead of 18.30, which was really nice as I was tired already. Went trough the security check with a scalpel and lots of fluids and a pair of scissors, which was ok cus I had no plans of hijacking the airplane anyway. The guy next to me borrowed my book during the flight, as I wanted to sleep. We started talking and I took Olly's advice asking if I could get a ride back ...

... untill eighteen years ago when all the acres of land were occupied by sons and daughters of the soil and visitors The popular food of the people is AMALA AND EWEDU WITH FISH .

... Here take your bags too." With that we were back out on the pavement wondering what to do. Godwin hailed a taxi and we went to another airport. This structure looked almost exactly like the Ontario Airport. Was very modern. Same routine with bags after the tickets were purchased. "1500 Naira. The bags weigh 29 kilograms and you are allowed only 20 kilograms." "Wait we can't pay 1500 ...

... a motorbike taxi. After traffic cleared we ignored stop signs and red lights along with other drivers and made our way through Lagos toward Illishan-Remo. We traveled on a nice four lane highway. As we got to the country, people were driving in the middle of the road. Cars, trucks, buses all down the middle until a horn constantly blowing convinced the driver it was time to move over. Some settlements near the highway ...

... People pressed all around and security parted the crowds as we made our way through the thick night air to waiting cars and vans; my eyes began to burn. Driving in *****ia is an int**esting adventure, even as a passeng**. Dr. BJ drove me from the airport to my hotel. I questioned him about my bags, thankfully he'd rescued them from the lobby without my notice; they w**e safely in the trunk. I was able to sit in the front seat and was treated to a sensory ...

... Rumhaengen, essen, viel zu viel trinken... Am Freitag haben wir mit dem Auto eine Tour durch Lagos gemacht.

Ebele und sein Papa sind Sales Agents. Ohne Vitamin B und jemanden, d** sich mit d** Kultur und allem drumh**um auskennt, kann man als Europae** in diesem Land ...

... of chilli and I have no idea what else! Dad walked in a few minutes aft** we had given up trying to eat and he was v**y cross. I refused to get back on a motorcycle with my bag and we got a taxi instead furth** into town. We then got a taxi to the wat**park wh**e we had drinks (7up) and chocolate eclairs before going across via boat to Tarzan. At Tarzan we got a taxi to Mary's house and aranged to meet h** at the univ**sity. We then got a taxi to Epe and Sungbo's Eredo.

... phone cards and mobile phones. I'm amazed at the amount of west**n produce h**e. I've seen adv**ts for nissan, ribenna, guiness and nestle products. Some of which seem strange and not relevant for the culture. Through our walking around inbetween taxis and through the market we w**e greeted with "Oyibo" which means white p**son. Sometimes they smiled and laughed, oth** times they tried selling me something. Also saw a massive ...
