Day 102

Finishing up Lagos! It has been a blast here. The hostel is so much fun, The Rising Cock! The owners here refer to themselves as Mama and Papa. Mama is extremely funny and she cooks us her famous crepes and lemon tea every morning for breakfast. And after all her years of running the hostel she still seems enthusiastic about it all.

The girls in my dorm are great, or shall I say the princess' in the Princess Palace are great! Yes we got the Princess Palace for our dorm. The sheets have crowns and leopard print on them and each bed is named something different. Plus the room has air conditioning!(so nice to have) Out of fluke I got the princess bed which is very fitting because Sara means princess! Mama even pointed out the princess painted on the wall with a funnel in her left hand and a beer in her right hand. Being a princess in Lagos, I think that it was a very accurate painting.

Most of the others split up today to head to farther beach where you have to trek on a bus to get to. So that left Lexy (Canadian) and myself to hit the beaches closer to the hostel. We walked to a quite bay area today where the water was cleaner and where less people were. It was stunning, one of the nicer beaches I have seen on this trip without a doubt. Also we walked to it from a cliff, so you have to make your way down from the top. There is no road that connects the path so you don't hear any noise, no cars or music from restaurants. Makes it that much more relaxing!

Once I arrived back to the hostel I attempted to book my ticket home. Yes time to make the long trip back to Canada! Unfortunately stupid e-dreams (never go with that company, EVER) would not allow my ticket to process because I had to fax in copies of my credit card and passport etc. The fax machine at their office would not answer my fax so I couldn't get it through. I tried calling customer support where the lady refused to check the fax machine and basically gave me no solution to my problem. So I told her to cancel the ticket because she was no help and I was not going to run around all night (last night in Lagos) to get a silly fax sent. I went back on the computer and booked one of the first flights I saw. Obviously nothing as cheap as the first one and I am broke and angry just thinking about it.

Either way it didn't matter because I got my ticket home and I got to enjoy my last night out with my fellow princess palacer's! Attempted another power hour and got to see Lexy's wheels out again! Ladies I am writing this just for you to read this haha .... "Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey goodbye!"
