Sunday May 1

Woke up with a plan to go to church, was pretty excited actually to experience Naija churches , trick is most drivers are off on Sundays or making excuses. The roomie had a great day spend the day at Karzan bay sp. Changed quickly had my swimming stuff ready got baby ready, we were driven to a place where we would hire a boat to take us to the beach ooooh the excitement. Alas when we arrived a heavy presence of Police.

Apparently the carnival that was on land yesterday now moved to the water, everything complete shut down. Lucky enough there was a plan B, hubbys colleague had just come back from SA and has a new apartment on Banana Island no joke, with a swimming pool! All was not lost, managed to swim and chill, there were 4 other SA dudes there, amazing how you get reunited ex race when you are in a different country!

After the 'picnic' by the pool, The host cooked for us great Pasta! I was taken back at how these men prepare such great dishes!

We spoke about missing home, life in Nigeria, its a whole different world here but great business opportunities!

As for the apartment! WOW! Taking notes for my future house. Who furnishes these apartments? The finishing is great from beginning to end! We drove past more HUGE houses in an estate, I am in AWE!

Day 5: Friday Carnival Day

Today was Lagos carnival day in ikoyi, from 7am till 7pm. How I wish I could have gone but most of the roads were blocked. Apparently it happens every year. Got a glimpse of some people though, colorful outfits. Went to a restaurant Emjay or Cumberland in Victoria Island yesterday with the husband, Indian restaurant. I must admit from outside it looked dodgy thought I was going to those corner restaurants where you buy meat and braai there, don't judge a book by its cover. It was pretty cool yesterday had some Mutton curry, black pepper fish very salty and burnt, black pepper chicken, butter non sp and steamed rice. Tea was served in a flask which I thot was sort of smart it doesn't get cold like the teapots and some Pepsi water. Service was average and together costed 7000 Naira equivalent to $50, quite reasonable, apparently the best Indian joint in Lagos and I will grow to love it lol. Not 5 star dining but will grow to love it.
