Happy hour

There are lots of neat things about staying in a hostel; usually you meet interesting people from all over the world, you fall asleep to sounds local to the place you're staying (no quiet hotel rooms for us!) and you can be in an interesting part of town. One of the downsides of staying in a hostel with a shared kitchen is waiting to use it...late (for us) and when hungry! We didn't eat until close to 9pm which was way too late for me! lol. We had pasta with sausage and zucchini. Jeff bought himself some hot sauce from thr grocery store to give it a kick; anyone who knows Jeff really well will know that nearly every meal, except breakfast, includes hot sauce... lol Okay, that's not entirely true, he did put hot sauce on his eggs today!

After dinner we headed out on the town, which was hopping with people. Street performers were out trying to make a living (singing, playing instruments, dressed in costumes... The one that creeps Jeff and I out the most is this guy that wears all gold and has his faced painted gold too, who stands exceptionally still, like a statue! For whatever reason, it's a little eerie! He rarely moves but to shake someone's hand or something... Maybe for a euro?) The restaurants either became bars or scooted out of the way to make room for the bars. There were so many of them, just like the restaurants, and they all try to entice you with their Happy Hour deal, or with pretty girls standing on the streets trying to convince you that their bar is the best. lol

We found a "Canadian" bar and had a drink.... The only two people in there, facing a couple of Canadian hockey jerseys and the oldest Bauer sticks I have ever seen! Then we decided to move on. We raced across the busy town square to a bar called the Three Monkeys that looked fun. I think it is run by a group of Australian friends. We had a couple of drinks there with their Happy Hour promotion and decided to head back. On the way home there was a lady selling made-to-order crepes outside of a restaurant. I stopped Jeff so I could have one.... Chocolate and banana. It was yummy.

We headed straight to bed once we got home.

Today is our last full day in Lagos, so we've got to figure out what we want to do... Possibly check out some sites around town and then finish it off at another beach.

It's time now though to get up, have breakfast and start the day!
