    Dinner

    I går, Liberia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    I found a Liberian restaurant a walking distance from the hotel called Evelyn's cousine. Not wanting to be out late. I left the hotel at 5:30pm and got to the restaurant shortly before 6pm. Ordered fufu with fried Okada and assorted meat. The food was served in less than 5 mins and was nice. This was my first swallow since leaving Nigeria.

    After dinner I took a bike to Tubman Blvd and worked.from there to the hotel.as bikes and Keke are not allowed on the Blvd.    Læs mere

    Keke Tour of Monrovia

    I går, Liberia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    I had contacted Roots of Africa Tours Monrovia weeks before my trip to Liberia and enquired about their Monrovia Keke tour and booked. The tour making some changes to some of the places shown on the initial tour.

    Wendell came to pick me at 11am with a Keke to commence the tour. We drove through different parts of Monrovia during the tour which gave me a very good view of the city. We stopped at the following places:
    * Robert's Monument dedicated to the first president of liberia. The guide gave a brief history of the settlers and the clashes they had with the indigenous people.
    * Ducor hotel was one of the best hotel in West Africa. It was damaged by the civil war and never renovated since then. It is the highest point in Nairobi and I got a good view of West Point from there.
    * Liberia National museum provided a historical insight of liberia, the people and their culture including major events in the history of the country.
    * Centinnial hall built in 1847 and the official venue of all presidential inaugurations in Liberia since then.
    * Providence Island the first place the settlers set up home in Liberia when they returned to the motherland.
    * Executive Pavillion a historic building constructed as part of the executive mansion complex.
    * PHP Unification Park and modern games and exercise park built during the presidency of George Weah.

    In summary it was an interesting tour of historic places and landmarks in Liberia    Læs mere

    Day 3: Sim card + Data and Fx exchange

    I går, Liberia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Walked down to the Orange office down the road from my hotel to buy a Sim card and load with data for 1 week. I was attended to by a friendly half Nigerian half Liberian lady who lived in Obiaruku in Delta state.

    I stopped over at the GTB bank to change some money but was told the bank only changes $100k and above so I asked for the nearest Forex Bureau and was directed to one here 1 USD was exchanged for LDR 186.    Læs mere

    Vine Lounge

    25. januar, Liberia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Took a taxi from the hotel to the famous Club Maserrado but alas it was closed and under construction so I visited Vine Lounge beach side instead to enjoy sea breeze and vibes and fake "Sex on the beach" cocktail which didn't taste nice. The beach wasn't crowded. The DJ played a lot of Nigerian songs which added to the ambience. It was a lovely beach outing.Læs mere

    Day 2 : 1st view of Monrovia City

    25. januar, Liberia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Had a good night sleep last night. It's been a while since I had an 8 hrs sleep. The 11hr trip yesterday really wore me out. Breakfast in the hotel was nice and free. I had sweet potatoes, plantain with chicken stew and egg with orange juice to push everything down.

    After breakfast I strolled down to the Orange office down the street from the hotel but alas they were not open contrary to what Google map advised. I tried to withdraw USD at a GTB ATM with my GTB card but it said the transaction wasn't allowed.

    On the way back to the hotel I stopped over at a supermarket to buy some provision. Items in the store were priced in USD. It seems Liberia is more expensive than Nigeria.    Læs mere

    Arrived in Country No 15

    24. januar, Liberia ⋅ 🌙 28 °C

    Landed in Monrovia at 18:52pm. We were served a proper rice meal on the flight. The total duration of the journey from Lagos was 11hrs and I passed through 3 countries before getting to Liberia. It was the classical Isrealite journey or what we call a Molue flight because of the numerous stops.

    Immigration was a breeze. On getting to the hall, port health only sighted the Yellow Card without flipping through it, then off to Immigration who asked for my profession and where I would be staying and then stamped me in for a 30 day stay. My suitcase came out pretty quickly on the conveyor belt. I passed it through the scanner before exiting the arrival hall. My pickup driver was already out there waiting for me with my name boldly written on a card.

    The drive from the airport to the hotel took over 1hr, part of the road is still under construction after 5 years according to the driver. I was assigned the deluxe room I booked for but it didn't have a great view. The manager apologized and said he could change the room next day if i want.

    I ordered room service jollof rice with croaker fish and a bottle of water.    Læs mere

    Stop over in Abidjan, Cote D'ivoire

    24. januar, Elfenbenskysten ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Landed at Abidjan airport at 16:35hrs after a short flight from Accra Ghana. This time around a lot more people got off the plane in Abidjan. This stop was added to my flight about a week ago thus extending my arrival in Monrovia, Liberia by 1hr.

    On the flight to Abidjan I was given a chicken sandwich roll and water. Interestingly no one joined the flight from Abidjan

    Pushed back fromthe gate at 17:37    Læs mere

    Breakfast in Lome & change of plane

    24. januar, At gå ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    Arrived Lome, Togo at 9:00am local time after a 35min flight from Lagos, Nigeria. To get to to the departure hall for my connecting flight I had to go through security scanner. The Lome airport departure hall has only 10 gates, after identifying my gate from the monitor in the hall I headed off to a restaurant for breakfast. My GTB ATM card didn't work on theirPOS terminal and i typed the wrong password when I tried my SCB card, I finally settled for USD cash payment. The meal was tasteless and bland but at least kept the hunger at bay. After breakfast I settled beside my gate waiting for boarding to start on my 14:00hrs flight. Boarding started at about 13:00hrsLæs mere

    My alarm went off at 5am. By 5:35am I was at the reception to check out. Took a Bolt to the new terminal of Murtala Muhammed Imternal Airport. Check in was smooth and effortless, no one asked for a tip everything was handled professionally by NDLEA, Customs & Immigration.

    Bought hot chocolate and a doughnut at a Krispy Kreme stand in the departure hall while waiting to board.    Læs mere

    Overnight in Lagos

    23. januar, Nigeria ⋅ ⛅ 35 °C

    Arrived Lagos at 15:00hrs. Flight was smooth and uneventful. My suitcases came in within reasonable time.

    Airport taxis wanted 10k to take me to the hotel. Couldn't get onto Bolt as network at the airport was really bad making internet service difficult. I climbed upto the car park and negotiated a taxi for 8k.

    Got to the hotel. It took them 15 mins to find my reservation which didn't show the payment I had made online to Hotels.ng. phone lines to Hotels.ng were switched off, at a point I thought I had been scammed but then I have paid several times in the past to them. They eventually responded to my distressed WhatsApp message and sent the payment receipt to the hotel after which I was assigned my room after almost ah hour.

    The hotel hallways are very dark with motion sensor lights which come on briefly. My room was at a corner of the hallway, quite big and spacious as I had booked a Deluxe Room haven been told last night that the standard rooms were not available.

    Ordered dinner and a Gulder.    Læs mere

    Day 0: Departing Port Harcourt

    23. januar, Nigeria ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

    Leaving the house was a bit of a drama as two Bolts declined requesting i convert from card ride to cash which I refused. The third came with a vehicle different from what was registered against the driver on the app so I refused to enter. Eventually the fourth ride came and I left the house at 11am. Drive to the airport was through tank, to Eneka - Igwuruta road. I haven't taken this route for years due to the bridge which was being built there and created considerable traffic. The bridge has been completed and traffic moves freely although the road under the bridge is yet to be tarred.

    Got to the airport by 11:30, I was the first of the checkin queue. Check in started at 12:10. Flight left at 14:00.    Læs mere
