The final stretch in Abuja. Funny enough I will miss the place and the people.  Hopefully on Fri we'll get seats on a plane to take us out of here.  I dread going through Lagos again but that's the way home. No more having to phone front desk to order airtime to convert to data after scratching about 50 vouchers @ NGN100 or NGN500.   No more ordering a taxi to anywhere.  In South Africa you don't take taxis unless you are very rich or very poor. The very rich will take the good taxis that cost an arm and a leg and the poor will take the very bad taxis.  The ones where the driver uses a wrench for a steering wheel and the wheels come off when you least expect it.  Even so, a basic trip in Abuja would cost us R100 (NGN2000) and then sometimes the taxi looks ok on the outside but is actually on it's last legs with seat belts not working and window wipers not working and you just pray that the brakes work cause they drive like maniacs.

Now the next phase starts.  We have one day to organize our goods in storage to be moved to Johannesburg and 4 days to find an apartment in Johannesburg so those goods have some place to go.  Then a well earned break at Cathedral Peak Hotel in the Drakensberg.  I hope I survive it all to enjoy that break.
