Frenetic at Terminal 5 Heathrow because baggage allowance unclear. Consequently, the flight was delayed because of excess hand luggage. Arrived around 6 am and the roads were choked with cars and bikes as people tried to enter the city centre to go to work. Many street vendors were walking in and out of the traffic trying to sell their wares. Everything from chewing gum to toilet brushes!
Picked up by Matthew at the airport and taken to our hotel and on to the VSO office. Abuja is developing very quickly with some spectacular new buildings.
It is great to hear that you have arrived safely. Tim would.like to know if you have eaten any weird or wonderful food yet. We are all thinking of you, take care. The clayson family
