Goodbye sunny R of SA!!!!!!

[Guest Big H]

Tomorrow morning we are flying to Nigeria. I will miss the Woollies Food Courts, SPAR and shops stocked with everything you can dream of. We are leaving the "vleispotte van Egipte" behind and venturing in Efferika again. I will miss my family and especially my Grandson. I will miss cycling on safe roads, I will miss our wonderfull nature....... but alas duty calls and the new venture must begin. See ya all....... but I will still visit on the Hub.

Staying in the EKO Hotel till Monday. Flying out to Benin City where we will live. I will be the Regional Manager / Senior Project Manager for a construction company. We have four present projects and we will establish a new office in the Edo State.

 

As on the other posting........ it is overcast and verrrrry humid at present here in Lagos........ but there was cloud cover all the way over Africa on our flight here.

EKO is nice...  we are staying at the Hardley suits (for cost saving purposes ).  Re the overcast conditions, people here tells me thats how it is....  Being like this the whole week.

 

Benin is nice,  but ive only been in Cotonou a couple of times, just be carefull of the 1000's of vespas!   You would propably get a driver i guess.  Good luck with the projects!

Cheers H.

 

May the bush there be nearly, quite, almost as good.

 

May the road rise up to meet you.

 

May the cyclists BEHAVE

No not Benin the country...... Benin the City in the Edu State..... see here on Google Earth - N6 20.026 E5 37.359

 

We stay in the EKO because it is part of the Company Group...... Chagoury Group, I work for their construction company, Hitech Construction.

 

I went onto the balcony sometime last night and actually saw a star...... but it is all misted over now.
