Weekend trip to Obudu ranch @ Mount Afi

His Excellency, the Governor of Cross River States is pampering us. This weekend he invited us to enjoy the Obudu Ranch at the Afi mountains. The most beutiful place I've seen for a long time! We spent 7 hours on bumpy roads in a small bus driving there on Saturday, but it was so worth it. Along the way there were several check points, some more official than others. Luckily the Governor had send four escorts with their AK47's with us - have never felt safer in my life. I feel refreshed and happy having seen a more beutiful side of this country asides all the poverty (70% of the people in the state live with a less than 1$ for day).



Passing through a village - the kids were so delighted to see a bus driving by.

This picture is taken from a cable cart on our way to the 1600 meter high mountain. The road is called Devil's Elbow.

Our bus didn't get through this muddy spot - had to make a few journeys with the escorts' pickup.
Our bodyguards and Lindsey & Kish.

It hasn't just been all fun and pleasure, will write a bit about work tomorrow (or whenever I will have access to the internet the next time - you never know).
