The hotel's power generator

I like pepper soup, but please, no goatmeat ! my granny made me taste it
and I tried it once more in Obudu... no thanks !
In fact it's very tasty, but taste lasts too long...

10,000 Naira it's OK for a queen size bed !

Good night !

Calabar Museum

The Old Residency stands on a hill that overlooks the waterfront.

It was built in Glasgow and then shipped over in pieces.
It used to be the colonial government residency and is now
the Calabar History museum, hosting a good collection of documents
on the region, his economy, the slave trade...
Impressive.

I'm sorry I don't have many pics to share...
one more time I was asked not to take photos.

Food and Smiles at Calabar market

Unforgettable moments with adorable people

Speaking French with a lady from Benin

The armchair was there, in the corner

the children were around me

I just asked them to sit down

and they smiled at me

The girl with a yellow hat was smiling too

A charming guy proposing a ride on his bike

A handsome guy and a great byke indeed

Second hand books and some nice discoveries !

The incorruptible Judge

Leaving Calabar, maybe the Cleanest Nigerian Town

... with crack driver Al Hadjid - the pilgrim,

his new respectful attribute since he did the Mecca Trip...

... so there is plenty of Al Hadjid, if you consider how many people
have to go there at least once in their life !
