Well I have arrived in Abuja, I have all my luggage and there was someone to pick us up from the airport at 4:30 in the morning. So all in all day 1 of the adventure has gone very well (and nowhere near as scary as my mind was thinking on the flight in).
We left the airport at about 5ish at which time the weather was very cool and pleasant, since then it’s only got hotter and sticker, which i feel may be a feature of the next 12 months. The hotel has free internet access and air con so I think they are easing us into this gently.
We are here for the next week and a half before we head off to our placements, so we have a week of 24 hour electricity and cold beers in Abuja. From what we’ve heard from the other volunteers this may not last once I get to Kaduna....
