What a day we had yesterday, well everyday since we heard our visas had finally been approved which was last Wednesday.  Then we had to rush to get last minute things done, flight tickets had to be booked, travel insurance arranged, collection at airports to hotels in Nigeria arranged, things put into storage and we were still 7kg over the limit at Lagos. By the time we got onto the plane at Cape Town International, we were finished.  The flight was two hours to OR Tambo International airport and then about six and a half to Lagos.  So by the time we got to Lagos, we were even more tired and dreading what we would still have to endure before reaching our hotel.  After waiting in the longest queue that took forever to move, we finally managed to get through immigration.  Then we had another wait for our luggage.  In the meanwhile we tried to get a trolley for our luggage and was told to pay NGN200.  We waited a while and got an older version trolley free of charge and then had to pay the NGN200 to the customs officer anyway.  Just another day in paradise.  We were very happy to find the designated driver outside, not so happy when he started driving.  Nothing wrong with his driving but there are no lights on the road sand no lines demarcating lanes at first and then there were some lines but still no lights.  They are allowed to drive 100 miles per hour but there are traffic cops checking out for reckless driving.  What can be more reckless than driving at those speeds on roads like these.  Anyway we were happy again when we got to the hotel, The Southern Sun, so quickly.  Apparently it can take up to 3 hours in peak traffic. After a quick supper, we jumped into bed as we had to get up early next morning for the last leg of our trip, Lagos to Abuja.
