Underneath the Falomo Bridge

Connecting VI or Victoria Island and Ikoyi is the Falomo Bridge.

the Falomo bridge

It connects Akin Adesola street to Alfred Rewane road vice versa (street, road?).  A dual carriage bridge crossing the Five Cowrie Creek, which we would cross every single day (except Sunday....hmmmm... maybe Sunday too).

straight ahead to Alfred Rewane road (Kingsway).. See the word LAGOS on the car 
reg. number?

Lekki Market (Arts and Crafts - Part 2) aka Negotiated Compromise

With the porter boy in tow, we headed for the vege market which is actually within the same compound of the Arts and Crafts section. Marijke told me that to get fresh produce, it arrives on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday around noon. The vege market reminds me of the market in Malaysia when I was a boy in the early 80's.

Lekki Market (Arts and Craft - Part 1) aka Negotiated Compromise

Ok, we have establised that Madam is here to work. Not me. She is on aassignemnt here that could take us anywhere between 3years or more or shorter. It depends. 

So it means that, until I can establish a regular schedule of me traveling to and fro...KUL-LOS-KUL, I really have to put aside my profession as a wealth advisor for Prudential and Prudential BSN Takaful. So, what do I do? I mix around with a bunch of nice ladies, some government officers and professionals in Lagos. 

Sometimes we do lunch (meeting ogas and chiefs), visit exhibitions (Motor exhibition) but my personal favourite is to go to the market all over Lagos. I love the one beside the Lekki-Epe Expressway. It is between the 4th and 5th roundabaout from the Toll gate (N150 for 4wd) in Victoria Island. It's the Lekki Market.

It opens around 9 in the morning (except on Environment day- clean up day, it opens after 10am) and all the way to evening, around 5-6 maybe. A few which I've got to know quite well would open till 7 or even wait until you arrive.

4WD is definitley an advantage

Life's a beach!

Beaches

Looking at the map, there must be hundred of kilometres of Nigeria coast between Benin and Cameroon overlooking the Atlantic ocean. 854kilometres in total

Atlantic Ocean...Sea of Atlas. The titan who held up the globe..I think that's why we called our geometry set, the Atlas set..I think. I remembered my dad called it Atlas set. 

Atlas set (google)

Anyway, its the second largest ocean after the Pacific and subdivided between North and South Atlantic.
