Our return flight to Abuja was rescheduled a little later in the morning, but everyone was still up early, looking for some elusive NW time zone. Our security team showed up for pictures (“snaps”) and a 45-min ride from downtown Uyo to the Airport. We condensed the bags into themselves as much as possible, left a dead bag behind, for a total of 7 bags out from 10 incoming. The flight was the exact quick 45-min return back to Abuja, then the 45min drive to the hotel. Travel days are a little long but easy, relative to ministry days, this hotel did have its electricity on when we arrived, and while it seems to go out about every 2-3 hours, the heat is almost oppressive and the AC comes back on. May it last all night! (It didn’t…)
Saturday, March 23:
Breakfast isn’t until 8:30am for those who want it, 1.5 hours later than usual! By 9:30 we gather to have a cultural day, observing natural wonders in Nigeria, and even visiting a zoo! Our most excellent driver knows the region well and efficiently gets us to some nice sites! After three hours we then we head to a nice restaurant (same one we were at yesterday) and have another delightful meal with our hosts. We head back to the hotel, but Ron and Chase decide to go shopping and they depart with Pastor Matthew and our driver for another two hours on the town! The picture
