Road to Calabar

I don't have the slightest idea were we are,
I should have marked every village on a map
all the way from Obudu. Too late for regrets now







Last stop for gasoline before Calabar.






And so on across the country
on a ride of about 60 km to Calabar.

The Rexona Hotel, Calabar, Cross River

Here we are in an authentic nigerian hotel,
with real nigerian food and kindness, wow !
You can find the Rexona Hotel at
#27 Mekenge Layout, off Ndidem Usang Iso Road











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 !
Want to know about Cross River state ?
Take a look here.

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.
