Super K Hotel Ibadan

... t know what my POGO stick was, she thought it was some sort of weapon. I convinced her otherwise, and even had her bouncing around her work area with it! I promised I would ship her an autographed one when I completed my journey. She is so excited for me! Well gotta sleep for now, the dark continent awaits my bouncing!

... settings but damn fine food. Finished breakfast around 10, changed some money then organised to catch a bush taxi for 30 Naira per person to an internet cafe. Everyone got machines except for us so we had to wait around for half an hour. When we did finally get on it was painfully slow but thankfully we only had to send two emails so once that was done we headed out, bought some Pringles for our emergency ...

... I'll let him live a while just to find out. We spot a man standing on a hill watching ov** us. V**y inquisitive this lot. They rarely approach... just watch out of int**est. Word has obviously got out about us to the kids and soon enough an army of them come bounding ov**. One has a bike which Kristy picks up and starts riding around in circles. Myself and one of the boys soon chase h** and he jumps on the back ...

... ed some Norwegian swearwords as I left the place. Aft** Ibiza we went to anoth** local joint, called Black one café, as Actor wanted catfish pepp** soup. Aft** drinking some be**s we w**e one our way home and I noticed that the hair saloon was still open, at 23.30. As I nev** have had an hair cut while being tipsy I decided today was the day. I got in and started negotiating the price, and ended up at 800 naira (5 US$). He started cutting my hear with a 'sheep ...

... p** night instead of 1800 previous night. I ate mine, as I am not v**y picky, wh**eas Olly refused to eat it, as he is a posh brit who attends Oxford ;) As Olly is on a mission to write about *****ia, he was p**sistent on giving them hell. We w**e planning on paying for the be**s and the rice, but not for the breakfast. The manag** said it was ok, when he und**stood that Olly was reviewing the Hotel. Howev**, the woman in ...

... be a day late. I had to insist, and I do mean INSIST that the representative from the institute pick me up. He tried to tell me, "No, you w**e h**e yest**day. Not today." But I convinced him oth**wise, fortunately! The airport was milling with shouting, crowding people and I was definitely feeling claustrophobic and ovewhelmed. I was taken to ...

... years mostly directed at the Christian minority in the north. With vast oil res**ves and nearly fifty years since independence as a major oil produc**, *****ia should have great potential for development as a nation. Howev**, its people have suff**ed und** one of the world's most corrupt gov**nments which has left most of them in deep pov**ty while hundreds of billions of dollars of oil revenue have gone unaccounted for. Meanwhile, acid rain from sulfurous ...

... do not abuse the privilege of having to conclude this very tempting timing - it is quite dangerous to the bank account and my poor credit card) This time even Liaz was ready to take unpaid leave :) and was really keen to give it a break. So we set foot - direction Cairo, but as you will soon realize no destination is good enough without a stop over in Nairobi.

... this ended up as a wand** through back streets of the town wh**e I found two little boys following me giggling when I waved. Mary bought some goats cheese from a young girl. We then got back on the okada and picked up some tea, sugar and evaporated milk. The sugar is twisted into little cones inside plastic bags. It is hard work greeting and waving. Now I know how bored and tired the queen must be! We returned to the palace wh**e I day dreamed ...

... birds, lions, comels, a tortise, various monkeys, baboon, a crocodile, hyenas, jackdaws and wart hogs. It feels strange being at a university that has so many palm tress and greenry. I feel very home sick at times, in particular my lack of "me" time and long for someone to talk to about something other than archeology! We met dad and Mary and ate at the canteen at the University. I had rice and plantane with some meat. I made the mistake of eating the ...
