Jesus! Fare from airport to hotel, #2000?Did U board an airspace?It's Mary Slessor Road not Street and I hope you enjoyed the hospitality.

Thank you so much. And yes, I enjoyed the hospitality. The reception was great

If I had seen this thread earlier, I'd have cautioned you travelling to Uyo via road. You probably should have taken a boat from Creek Town to Oron and use the road to Uyo. Due to the deplorable road situation, it's shorter. People have spent more than five hours on that Calabar - Uyo Road. Five years ago, the trip took not more than two hours and not more than an hour seven years ago (circa 30 - 45 mins).

Thank you jare. Would have loved to explore this. The road travel was something else I have never experienced before. It wasnt bad, it was like hell on earth

Op while you where there at the hotel's restaurant in calabar eating, I was in the bar sipping some chilled beer. I hope you enjoyed your stay in calabar. When covid 19 wahala is over, please do remember to visit during the xmas period. I bet you'll be more impressed than now

Lol, it will be more than a pleasure......

E shock you? First timers

CalabarHills:
Firstly, You are not a good documenter. The photos look drab ,poor quality and uninspiring . You should have gone on a sunny day with cloudless blue skies.
Secondly, The government needs to ban child labor/abuse and street & roadside hawking , it makes the entire place look dirty and ugly. They also need to stop painting the medians and side of roads black and white.

Thanks for your comments and sorry about the photo quality. I didnt have enough time to wait for the sun to shine to take photos. We are in rainy season and the weather was cloudy most of the time..The idea about this was to explore, with or without pictures

TheLasyBuddha:
No matter where your hotel is in Calabar, I repeat, no matter where it is, it won't cost you more than NGN500 to get there for a drop in. You could have gotten to the road side and use a taxi.

First timers though...

Awwn, thank you so much. We enjoyed every moment spent in Ibeno, the people are so friendly and so amazing. It was a worthwhile experience here

OVB123:
Haven visit both state, please abraham kindly do justice to this question: between Akwa Ibom state and Cross River state which state is better of, interm of infrastructures?

We did not get to move around a lot in both states but from the few areas we touched ground, in my opinion, Akwa Ibom has well tarred roads and better infrastructure.

Truthspoon1:
beautiful, sometimes we don't need to travel across oceans to appreciate the beauty of nature. can you tell us how much you spent for transportation?

Well for transportation
Air fare cost NGN20,500 per adult to CALABAR
Fare to the hotel from Calabar airport NGN2,000
Journey from Calabar to Uyo NGN2,100
Journey from Uyo to Eket: NGN1,500
Journey from Eket to Ibeno Beach: NGN300 to and fro.

I hope this is sufficient
