Olumo Rock Abeokuta. Remarkable Climb And Awesome Views

August 9, 2019January 23, 2017 by kemkem

Olumo Rock in Abeokuta was our last tourist destination during our recent visit to Nigeria. This very popular tourist attraction, which I’d heard of but never visited was a welcome delight. Abeokuta is the capital of Ogun State. It is about 80 miles from Lagos. Federico was keen to see it, so we put it …

Historic Osun Osogbo Sacred Grove Is Terrific!

If anyone had told me that Nigeria has a UNESCO World Heritage Site, l would have scoffed. I had certainly never read nor heard about that. All we seem to hear about is Boko Haram and Internet Scammers. Our recent visit to Nigeria where we spent the most of December was an enlightening one.

Not only did we get to visit with family, but we also traveled short distances from our bases in Ibadan and Lagos to visit some of the cultural landmarks including the Osun Osogbo Sacred Grove. The grove is located in the South West of Nigeria and is one of the last remaining ones in the country. Most groves have been abandoned thanks to population growth and in my opinion, more westernized religion and the dying off of old people.

That Was Quick! Looking Back At a Terrific Year

June 28, 2017December 30, 2016 by kemkem

That was extremely quick! 2016 seems to have come and gone in a flash. It seems like just yesterday l was reflecting on 2015 and our plans for the new year. Here l am again with a wrap-up of our fun and travel filled year. We have enjoyed sharing the year with you and hope to keep on doing that in the new year. By my calculation, the longest we stayed at home in Seville at any one time was three weeks and our longest trip was 33 days! We couldn’t have done it without the absolutely wonderful pet sitters we found through my favorite company, Housesitmatch. I highly recommend them to any homeowner, and nope.. I am not being paid to say that, just a grateful client 🙂 .
