A day at the Beach

Off the boat and a walk through a small village to the beach.

A few of the village boys

No, this is NOT the boat we came in on. Although this is exactly what most Nigerians ride in. Terrifying to most of them since the boats are very rickety and most people don't know how to swim here.

The beautiful Atlantic Ocean!

Sadly,  someone drowned here last year who was caught in a rip tide, so we aren't allowed to swim. The tides are very strong here which we felt even at knee deep.

Moriah was surprised at how warm the water felt.

Jenna put her flip-flops down for a minute and next thing we knew they were getting carried out. The kids grabbed one and I went in after the other. Thankfully my camera didn't get wet! The man in the background with the box on his head, had many goods to show us and I ended buying a few. They're incredibly steep on their asking prices so you have to barter to get a reasonable price! I thought Nigeria would be cheap. It's NOT!! Prices on everything are very expensive!

This roasted pig was part of our lunch spread. Yum!

Jenna loved the hammock!

At the end of our stay, we passed out Santa hats to all the kids in the Village and left them with two huge bags of rice.

These girls helped carry out all our bags and coolers to the boat.

 Back to the boat..

to ride back to Ikoyi.

Scenes along the way--

I hope we can return again soon!
