Arrhythmia And Loud Music

March 30 - Final countdown







Everything good is up quickly, and in total, even at the fast end. But after the turn. When I was leaving Ali main objective, that is for sale Montka. The case looked very easy, because the client already was. Unfortunately we had to go to Kano, but still better than 1200km ride these have problems with the sale on the spot. Of course, in Nigeria, some things are really simple, for example, drinking Guldera, indeed other activities of this series, but businesses have not come so easily. After a few days and many conversations with prospective buyer found out that he did not have all the money, and a brother who lives in Lagos did not want to make the rest of the car before it is seen. For me, it's no problem, but somehow a brother to me he could not choose for inspection. So all those swearing by Allah, and other miracles are worth nothing. Such is Africa, a lot of talk about little to do. All fine, but I still stayed with Montkiem. Many people watched the car, I somehow terribly in no hurry to sell, so there was smoking are very pleased with the price reduction. With my previous "buyer" we had a 775,000 Naira. We know that selling your car on the spot without crossing any route I was willing to "pull off" the price. Passed the next day, everything pretty beautiful. Nightlife in Lagos has much to offer, so the time passed quickly. Commercial break from here until the splendor, the latest Mercedes and drinks at 10E. The weekend was a ball, on Sunday trips to fish on the beach, really needed a relaxing after all the days of traveling. Unfortunately, time began to chase, and the car continues to happen. In addition, unpleasant happened to the adventure. Since my friend got a new apartment, it had to be done to move and to transport the Montka. Unfortunately, at the end of the exit road from the old apartment before I began to veer to the right, struck the right door my car parked on the roadside, who had just decided to move on without looking in the mirror. Of course, initially the guy knew it was his fault, until they jumped 20 Nigerians who naskoczyli at me, and it convinced me that I am guilty and should pay for it! I tore out the ignition key and the situation was very nervous. Animal anger in their eyes gave me quite clearly that is not easily wykaraskam. Fortunately, our friend went with Nigerian Samuel, who helped escaped from this situation. Although I know the reality, in this case is not He spoke, perhaps because I know the reality! Calling the police in such circumstances is suicide, because both we and the other would have to pay a pile of cash, and still nothing would not help us. I ended up so that, despite the guilt of that, we had to pay him. Then I realized it looks like racism against white people in Nigerian execution. In any event, Montek have looked much worse. Bumper him hung from the door had a big scar and an indentation. The pipe had to break the threshold. What was wrong Saturday. For this my Blues lost a league match of the Oder. Oh, I had to work off. Gulder poured in specific amounts, and I only dreamed about going back to Silesia. Fortunately, after Saturday came a quiet Sunday. Somehow I came to myself. Reconciled with the cullet, but knew it would be even harder to sell the car. He was also the story of a friend who was coming from work in a traffic jam was assaulted by a Nigerian, who put the window, something like a gun. Most likely it was a Rocket Launcher, but somehow I was not willing to try whether it was loaded. Each gave what he had. A friend gave his wallet, but fortunately had a very old cell, so bandit only laughed, but a better model of the driver has fallen prey to it. A few dozen yards away from the police became kałachami, but the complaints of many people, that the above-thug with a gun robs, just laughed. Welcome to Nigeria my brother! In fact - nobody said it would slightly!

can not complain because there are also moments of fantastic and nowhere in the world can not survive such excesses as in Nigeria. In total, it should be a country sports tourism / attractions extreme. Adrenaline sometimes it hits you that it's hard for imagine. Moreover, this is a country where anything goes and there is no rational principles. The only rule is a local currency, Naira! But back to the topic. The aforementioned friend who was attacked offered assistance in selling the car. On Tuesday he sent an e-mail that is Montek to buy. On Wednesday, I show it and the guy turned out to be very interested. To my great surprise, on Friday called and said that he has money and wants to buy it. We have finalized the matter very well, until a tear in the eye as the new owner turned off the Montkiem drove away. I hope that will respect him. In any event, we made time for a beer and pounded yam and egusi soup (a local delicacy). I hope that tomorrow will be a meeting to finalize. Price, of course, was much lower than the original, but on Saturday I'll be back, so I did not have time to wait. Today I bought a ticket and there is no turning back. On Sunday, April 5, after nearly four months away from home, I'll Silesia Superior, or Upper Silesia! I hope that there will be a great adventure at the airport, that is, immediately give the paw that bloody przeszukiwaczom not to clung to souvenirs and not buried in my pants przechodzonych!

blog for fans of good news. We intend to spend it in book form (by some for motivation), adding a lot of pictures and practical information, such money, accommodation, tourism. For every blogger who was raised very happy going to write a book. I hope that this year will be published!

How Much Is The Babylock Jewel

Farewell and welcome

Well how Philip feared - unfortunately problems later in the admission occurred. After passing through passport control, baggage scanning again emerged problems, because customs officer insisted that the souvenirs you can not take on board the aircraft. I explained to her that I will not make a wooden bowl of a terrorist attack, but she was adamant, and gave two options: either to leave or pay 50E souvenirs. The first of these was not an option, the other the more. Unfortunately I did not phone each other or No for Filip Nigerian mobile, so I could not call him to come and take souvenirs. Left only to pay. Celniczce I said that I brought in their own country all the money and I have been 5E. Marudziła, marudziła, but took on luck. Good bye to me Nigeria tickled .... I went further, to the gate, and here I see another check luggage. My heart sank and I thought now that, as one will once again wanted me to bribe him to think this is a wooden bowl przywalę. My patience has come to an end. And if I did, I would probably be deported straight away I was prepared for, so and so I flew back home:) But luckily the last inspection has already been checked with Lufthansa and only if there is no more than 100ml of liquids and sharp objects.
Poland welcomed me to the half-melted snow, gray and sad people at the airport. But somehow I'ma hold it - I hope that my energy Harvest by the 2.5 months to help me lighten and warm up a bit around:) Thanks again for cheering and faithful reading of our adventures. Will certainly be next!

L45bh Metal Detector Review

At the airport - that is, Out of Africa

We leave home at 19:20. Like the airport takes about half an hour, but in Lagos traffic jams can be such that the same may take a 2.5 hour tour. In any event, the road through town is quite passable. The air can no longer feel the heavy atmosphere of return. Out of Africa. I'm still staying, but I also know that a stage has ended. For the first time since his departure, was the last Monday in the morning I felt like this on Monday - oh I do not like Mondays, I do not like .... Gone are our Fridays and Saturdays, unfortunately ....
At the airport, but there is no queue for check-in, but we must first open your backpack before customs. As it turns out not to our elaborately packaged bag no mercy. Squeeze their paws in and brutally crash everything with him. Of course, any memorial (and particularly one large mask Dogon country) leave aside and irritated tone, demanding a certificate from the museum that are not antiques. It does not help our translations, we're tourists, that those monuments are purchased in other countries (displaying a visa in the passport). These are a few mementos of E, I explain. Do I look like someone who pays thousands of dollars for antiques? Thieves (because otherwise they can not be named) at the border after lengthy discussions allow us to pack, but still want to take us to some boss. Chris at this point loses patience and gives one of them 2000 N - 10E. Publican completely without any embarrassment the money, not paying attention to all the people around you. At the same time our antiques to change into ordinary souvenirs that can be freely exported from Nigeria. In the meantime I am going to check-in and I want to validate your ticket immediately and recover money for him. It's all me terribly sick. That shit at the end. For me, the first contact with the airport in Lagos (the previous times I flew to Abuja), and despite warnings, such thing did not expect. Fortunately, the gentlemen officially forces tribute at the airport, under the aegis of Nigerian customs, after receiving the money completely lost interest in us. Backpack is no longer so well gets packed on weight. The rest goes smoothly. We're going to wait along the bars, because the departure of a lot of time. Emotions some of us last. Circle 22 is goodbye. Unfortunately, Al is not with each phone, so I do not know if I had any problem further. In total there are pop or souvenirs. I hope to write something today about your flight ..... I probably still waiting for a lonely road north to Kano. How about this idea, it's up to me, shivers go. Again, one thousand psychic truck drivers, hundreds of miles of potholes, heat, and swinging Montek. Just go there only as a whole to deliver. In any case, what I have posted and let you know how it goes with the sale. Thanks again for the great comments, words of encouragement and your time .....

How To Draw A Blueprint Of A Castle

February 24 - End of travel

And then came the last day of our trip to West Africa. With the planned 10 thousand. miles grew almost 13 000th Today, packaging, some splashing in the pool with friends and of course the last dinner. This time, fresh fish pepper soup. The waiter aquarium fishes out bulky sum, from which the chef makes a delicious, extremely sharp soup. When eating a man crying, pouring from his nose, sweat pours from the entire body, but despite this - continue to be so tasty this dish. But you have to have an iron stomach to withstand such an amount of cayenne pepper. Circle of 19 we go to the airport.
expedition ended, but the blog is not. Philip is still in Nigeria for a while, so how can something interesting will happen - will be posted.
In any event, we thank all our loyal readers for joining us on this expedition. We hope that maybe we could convince more dedicated that traveling is one of the best things in life that dreams do come true and that nothing is impossible! After returning Philip
urządzimy slideshow and stories, so in advance are welcome!
See you there!
