Still in Lagos and yesterday we had pretty boring weather with rain showers and chilly weather, in other words we were mostly at home and took it easy, took the opportunity to go down to the supermarket to fill up the supplies between the showers and judge by my surprise when a team with a donkey and cart arrives, stops in front of Pingo (the equivalent of Costco), ties the donkey to a lamppost and goes in and does some shopping. The contrast is incredible with all those Teslas, Mercedes AMGs and a donkey, indescribable and as the tourist I am, of course I snap a picture.
The day today started with showers but cleared up quickly so we got in the car and drove out to Ponta da Piedade. Ponta da Piedade is a type of rock formation that stands on the cape just outside Lagos. Most tourists take a boat trip out and visit the rocks and its caves this way and yes, it is probably the coolest way to be honest but visiting and seeing from the top was also really impressive and hard to capture in a picture.
The more I travel here the more amazed I am by this country, a gigantic tourist attraction as above and I can only imagine how chaotic they must be during peak season, it was a really extensive system of trestles, bridges and lookouts, everything adapted for the disabled and stroller friendly. I probably wouldn’t have thought about them before but now I really feel how much I appreciate it and that they offer this for free…wow!
