... br>Dist cov.= 288 km<br><br>8th - Drove into Gombe wh**e most spent their remaining Naira or to a degree of this. Had a long drive to wh**e we would ultimately bushcamp, long drive in time as opposed to distance. The road had a large amount of potholes of various sizes. We are camping just before Numan and nearby the Benue Riv**. It`s a nice little spot with some trees on one side and quite a bit away from a village.<br><br>Dist cov. = 263 km<br><br>9th - Drove ...

... autêntico inf**no. Infelizmente não consegui of**ta para ficar em Lagos a não s** depois de já t** mudado de ideias sobre ir ou não a Abuja, a capital. Estava sem kumbu e sem vontade de passar outros 10 dias na fronteira Nigéria-Camarões sem visto, sobretudo de passar esses dias do lado nig**iano onde só me d**am 7 dias de estadia. Abuja seja! Na embaixada me barraram a entrada por causa dos calções. Um niju m'emprestou as calinas dele que nem fechavam na minha cintura, mas deu ...

... lined up. A seemingly normal thing until I noticed they still had their heads on... with a foot sticking up through its mouth. I went for the beef. It was delicious. As we drove out of town the sun went down and darkness crept in. Around 7ish we pulled off road and went in search of a bush camp... finding one amongst trees and prickly bushes. Not wanting to venture too far we pitched tents on top of one anoth**. With stars shining bright ...

... roared. Quickly flipping the tent back ov**, repegging and shoving ev**ything back in we made it just before the downpour began. Incredible how quickly the weath** changed. We discov**ed an airconditioned mall so spent some time wond**ing around th**e one aft**noon. Sat on the net for an hour but it was so slow I only managed to send one email the entire time. Despite it not working the lady still wanted to charge us full price ...

... y*u they kn*w the place. An*th** thing is the urge t* ease themselves in public. As I was g*ing t* get f**d, this guy just sat d*wn tw* met**s away fr*m wh**e I was walking and t**k a **** (p*-p*) in the middle *f the street. It was dark but still it is a maj*r city and I did n*t see that *ne c*ming. Th**e are a l*t *f small things like that happening, but I cann*t write ab*ut ev**ything s* p**haps I will have a last bl*gg ab*ut gen**al stuff when I get h*me. I c*uld ...

... More important, I was on *****ian TV for a third time, possibly because I had my Zambian shirt on, and people thought I was from Zimbabwe. Thursday was 1 May and a public holiday, just what I needed as my days has been really busy... I sat outside my room, read a novel about *****ia, and enjoyed the cool weath** (below 30 early in the day). Lat** I got a text from Ngozi and I was sure it was about church, but actually, she asked if we ...

... from the last conf**ence and they recognised me as well, probably because I am white:). Then all of a sudden I heard my name, or at least something that sounded like it. It turned out they wanted me at the high table with the party lead**s and chairmen. Well, I couldn't say no, could I? So aft** filling the table we started the discussion which was about the same topic as last time, how to change the 1999 constitution and the ...

Aft** getting back to Abuja I was happy to be back in my hotel room, I guess I'm kind of a creature of habit. The next morning I went to the office early in ord** to send some mails and get things sorted. I called to invite Wale and Kelechi, the two businessmen I met at the plane, to the conf**ence. Wale actually came wh**eas Kelechi was stuck in a meeting. The meeting started at nine and the room was pretty full when I got th**e. Lead**s ...

... but it was a cow-tail. I guess the fewest of you have had cow-tail so I'll explain a bit. In the middle you got a big bone, then some tend** meat, and then half a cm of fat (the skin). They dug in as it was Christmas Eve, I on the oth** side struggled. I hate fat; I even cut the fat of bacon! I had a go at the whole thing, and it tasted like ****! It was like eating fat with a spoon. I ate the small pieces of meat and the soup and told them I was not a big fan of fat. I think ...

I am in *****ia! We flew into Abuja at 5am on Saturday morning. First impressions of Abuja: Not too hot! It is about 24 degrees at the moment and is p**fect for walking around. The city is v**y clean and is what most people would imagine if you asked them to describe a typical African city. I'm actually going to be working Calabar which is a 12 hour drive south (something to look forward to on Saturday....) from Abuja but we are dong all the training and sorting out h**e in ...
