There's no place like Nigeria
The crew arrived in the hotel at 1:00 PM. The weather was very hot and humid. Perfect for tanning! We got the crew bags from the conveyers belt and thought of getting an airport push cart for my suitcase, trolley and handbag to make it more convenient to walk to our bus. Unfortunately, the airport guy was charging us money to use the push carts. …
Togo to Benin to Nigeria!
... and wild and dirty and jammed with traffic and dirty, oh and it's noisy and dirty! Weirdly still very friendly. We couldn't face the horror of finding a hotel so we headed to Victoria island to the posh bit. Adrian's dad has a friend in protea hotel so he called and got us deal. £90 pp but we would have our own rooms! I haven't had my own room on 7 weeks! On the way in we're flagged down by a bad boy *****ian biker, kitted out on his BMW 1100 with a air ...
Hey, sistah
Lagos is the place to go if you would like to experience the luxury of an armed escort and the oddity of standing out as an obvious foreigner. Since I once attended a montessori school where my skin color was not in the majority, I was strangely at ease. It helped that one of my collegues was from Lagos and told the rest of us about the place from her own local ...
Badagry to Lagos by Van
... but they do not want a fare right now. I guess they are waiting for some people. Who knows. At last we find a “taxi” – I put this in quote marks because there’s few marked cabs in Lagos; you pretty much just wave at every passing car and if somebody wants to make some naira, they will stop and see where you’re going. Yomi bargains the fare to N 500 ($3.07) for the trip back to the hotel and we pull away at 10:13.
The car has only one ...
Lagos Day #2
... of 155 (the official rate is 163 and I got 162 at the airport yesterday). Ugh.
Back to the shoe shop to pay for my ABC Transport bus ticket. Finally that first important task of the day is complete. I walk outside to take a photo of the shop and freak out when a message displays on my camera: “Insert memory card.” I open the bottom of my camera and realize the SD card slot is empty. Oh f*ck, I left the card in my laptop this morning after transferring some ...

“Great Hotel but very small pool area”
Reviewed May 4, 2011
I had a great stay at Ikoyi. The hotel was great, very clean and very modern. I had a modern flat screen TV and wifi in the room. Their service was excellent. The staff were friendly and they offer great welcome drinks including cocktails and champagne with some butter biscuits. That was very thoughtful. The gym was basic but very neat, the bathroom has steam bath and sauna. Not all great hotels offer this.
Dinner and breakfast buffet had good options, but could be more than that. The pool is located on the right side of the driveway and even though there was a wall or divider in between, it doesn't feel that chill to hang out. The pool side was quite small and not very good for tanning because of the shade that covers the pool area.
