THIRD WEEK DREEMPORTCHALLENGE: A TRIP TO ABUJA

Going on a trip alone isn't always that fun compared to when you go in groups. For two weeks now, @dreemsteem and other team have brought a challenge where we pick someone for a trip and the money is sponsored by #dreemport challenge. This is the third week of the Challenge and for this one, we are given $4000 for a 4 day trip taking along 3 other persons making it 4 People for this trip.

I tried finding the best place to go spend our beautiful moment and after many thoughts, I decided we should visit ABUJA.

Me: Hey girl! We are coming to Abuja and I would like you to join us so you can take us to see everywhere since you are living there. You shouldn't be new to different places as you are a social person.

Peace: "Wow! This means I will be spending my time with you. Wait! How many of you are coming?"

Me: Myself and two other guys

Peace: "Oh really? Does this mean I will be having someone as a partner?"

Me: Peace, you haven't stopped this attitude of yours. Common, okay, you will have a partner for just 4days

Peace: "It's okay by me. As long as I get his contact and we keep talking all along"

For this trip, I will be tagging @olawalium and @mcyusuf along. Yusuf already begged me to take him along as he is bored seeing the same thing where he lives. He wants an exposure and I think this is an opportunity for him. I also want Ola to be with me as he is my KP (don't worry about that. If you don't gerrit, forget abourrit 🤣)

We took a flight to Abuja from Lagos costing us $80 each and that is $240

It was fun having two guys with me on this trip and I feel secured as a lady. We were gisting as other passengers were staring at us especially when Ola was smiling with his teeth outside showing everyone his white set of teeths. Yusuf has been gentle all the while and he wouldn't talk much as he was also a shy guy 🙈

We arrived Abuja after an hour as Peace came to welcome us at the airport. At last I saw Peace staring at Yusuf because she already saw how I held onto Ola. At least she understood he is taken by me 😁

So without wasting much time, I decided we should eat something first before going places.

We took a cab as peace recommended Jevinik Restaurant to be the best place where foods are nice and great. The cab costs $10 and we got to the restaurant. With how it looks, I could see it is the best place to go to. We sat down in twos as Peace sat with Yusuf while I and Ola was together eating while talking about something else (it's a secret😉)

Though the foods made sense but too expensive. We spent $100 for the foods and drinks. After eating, we set to visit MAGIC LAND AMUSEMENT PARK We took another cab ($5) to the place and we got there in thirty minutes.

The magic land amusement park is formerly called "Wonderland park in Abuja" and it's a recreational park where people come to relax and enjoy different kinds of facilities there.

We paid $85 each for adults for a tour while someone volunteered to take us everywhere around the place. We saw children having fun and also

Then the guy taking us chose to teach us how to hike on the wonderland mountain.

It was a beautiful day and I got tired. We had to call it a day and we left.

We lodged in an hotel for 4 nights. Each night per room would cost us $30 and two rooms would be $240 in four days since the guys would be sharing a room.

We ate our dinner together outside the hotel costing us $150 after then, we talked and went to sleep.

THE SECOND DAY
We ate breakfast spending $50 for all of us. We took a cab ($15) to YANKARI GAME RESERVE where there are wild animals and it's also a place to have fun. When we got there, we met other people there too who came to spend moment together.

We paid $750 for the four of us and we started exploring everywhere.

We were given a room in here as we were told it's a place to change perhaps after swimming.

Peace already told us to bring some clothes for changing along and so we went into the room. We sat for some minutes before stepping outside to see beautiful things. We went into the forest with a guide following us. We saw different animals like the deer, kangaroo, monkeys, etc but we couldn't move near them.

Then after walking for an hour, we got exhausted and we went back to swim in the pool.

I could see Peace and Yusuf having fun already in the water. They are the best swimmers as I could guess. Ola was persuading me to come meet him in the water but I kept telling him I can't swim. All of a sudden, he drew me into the water with him and at first, I thought I was drowning but he held me and gave me that kiss 😁😁 I was calmed and felt secured knowing he wouldn't watch me drowning. We had the best time together in the water. It feels like I shouldn't get out when we checked the time, it was already getting late.

We changed into a new clothes and went home for the day. We got to the hotel and ordered our dinner as usual which was brought in for us. The cab collected $4.

THE THIRD DAY

Another day, another trip. It's getting more interesting and I wish we should keep having fun forever 😄😄
We went to another fun place "Abuja Cuisine Tour" where saw Barbeque, Suya and we bought some for ourselves which cost $4. The cab man collected $6 from us.

We then move on to Almat Farms and Resort" We paid $100 as a group for entering and viewing different areas. We saw the oldest tortoise

The farms offers different activities such as kayaking, horse riding, mountain riding, picnicking etc

We rode on horses and took different pictures too. Don't ask of me any picture pls 😅😅

It was another best moment as we went home later in the evening. We thought of going to the cinema to watch a movie. We went to SILVERBIRD CINEMA where we spent $125 for things we did and bought.

After then, we went to the hotel and slept for the next day.

FOURTH DAY
And we are finally here on the last day of the trip. We decided to spend the day in the hotel and we played so many games. Ate Breakfast, Lunch and had a nice time together. All costs $150.

We set to return back to our destination. Peace escorted us to the airport which I sent her $200 for leaving her own work for us. She was so excited. We paid our flight of $400 back to Lagos.

On getting to Lagos, I sent $300 each to Yusuf and Ola too and we departed.

All expenses amounted to $3500 while I took the remaining $500 back to Ondo state which I bought some Hive tokens to power up my account.

Thanks to #dreemportchallenge for the trip so far.
