Stayed at another apartment
The weird booking culture they all have in Benin, Sengal and Gambia that I dislike is that after paying for booking they’d still tell you to pay for the electricity you’re going to use during your stay, like why not include it in the price?, after paying $60 per night, you go still de pay for electricity

Their Jollof is mid, the veggies are not chopped and put as whole or in large chunks, the rice is always half done.
I’ve been to Ghana several times and theirs is way way better

Landed Abidjan, I have a 17 hour layover so I’d be leaving the airport
Immigration was the smoothest I’ve ever experienced in an African country, it’s even smoother than leaving Nigeria.
Got a taxi and headed to my apartment

Got to the apartment and it wasn’t what was advertised, I booked a 2 room apt because I was supposed to have friends over, and it was 12am

I’m glad yall enjoyed my other thread, now I regret not posting other times I’ve travelled, I’ve been to other countries (some are well documented trips), so I think I’d post those later when I’m back from this, I also plan to open a YouTube channel since I can’t upload videos here (I’m definitely gonna do that this week), Not gonna lie posting here is kinda stressful too (I have few videos on my Instagram reels tho).

So my journey from Nigeria to Cape Verde starts tomorrow, and this is going to be fun (I guess), more detailed experiences than the last thread too

We boarded at 7:30
Landed Lagos and got my bags and was ready to leave the airport by 9pm, the taxis were really pricy (a whole 40,000) and i was more likely going to be harrased by the police on my way, I did the riskiest thing yeah, took a bike from the airport to the island and paid 15,000
It was an hour, 10 mins ride
