Had my last yoga session this morning.  I wanted to stay for the shaking exercise after, but I needed to get to Shoprite to buy some Kingklip as I'm having guests for dinner tomorrow night.  So now I still don't know what "shake" is all about.  Maybe they'll do it on Fri but I'm not sure if I can go to gym on Fri cause that is the day we fly out of Abuja to my favourite place in the whole world....not....Lagos. I'm already praying that there will be no delays and that we manage to make our connecting flight to Jhb.  We've moved our flight up from 19h00 to 17h00 as we were told by our good friend that we'd never make the connecting flight if we left Abuja at 19h00.  It's a one hour flight to Lagos and then our flight to Jhb leaves at 22h00, but there can be so many delays that we could actually miss that connecting flight.  For one, we could get stuck in traffic on our way from the domestic airport to the international one.  Or we could be stuck at immigration for some or other silly reason.  We've already been given advice that if they say there is something wrong with our yellow fever card, that we should take our passport and yellow fever card back and put some NGN3000 into the passport and give it back saying "please could you check it again".  It is ridiculous that this is the only way you can get out of here but needs must.  I have such a longing to be on my own soil, that I will pay up. I hope never to come back here. My daughter always says, "never say never" so I'd better not say I'll never come back here. 

Having said that, I will miss all my friends, my driver and all the cleaners here at the apartment.  They were always so friendly with a "welcome ma" and "how was your night or your day" depending on what time you met up with them.
