The 1.5 hour ride to the Gladmann Hotel in the dark was another version of “terror”, as people walk alongside the road in the dark, apparently able to see by the lights of cars flashing by at above whatever the speed seems adequate, and the car Chase rode in, driven by a very competent driver, thoroughly able to make his horn say “watch out!” in a variety of honks, tremolos, and blares, had his speedometer disconnected, surely to save on mileage (?). Good news for hot & sweaty mission bears: The Gladmann has dependable electricity and AC in every room, Chase’s was set to 16 degrees C, about 66 degrees F, and the hot water heaters were all switched “on” before our arrival. Chase and Ron were the only two more hungry than tired. Ron wanted authentic Nigerian food and enjoyed the chicken pepper soup. Ron’s take on this amazing soup: “Awesome !!” despite getting to his room at 10:30pm. Relatively good night of sleep with AC, but time zone change is catching up…
