hey people, its another travel Thursday post and am seriously digging out my throwback travel moments that still hasn't found its way to the blog yet. sometime in April/may i went to nig on some family runs and i was going to blog about it but life has been really busy for me and 4 months after am still trying to get the post up. so i'll just do this once and for all.

my first Lagos travel diary post here, (go catch up) was in the Badagry axis (more like the away from life axis) part two of this post will be the island axis aka where the rich and famous dwell, have their abode, build their homes mansions.

I visited a few places in this area and i'll get right into it. *warning* this is going to be a picture overload post, so get comfortable, relax, grab a cuppa coffee, tea, juice or any type of liquid that sits well in your mouth and some popcorn and lets get into it. lol.!

1. The Lekki Conservation Centre
moving around in Lagos can be a whole lot of stress especially if you car is not *almana tight* (the air condition in the car had to be top notch), or you don't even have a car. Anyways I booked myself a taxi for the day with AC i couldn't struggle with that heat biko. so first stop was the lekki conservation centre, i didn't realise how big this place was till i got in, its actually such a beautiful site to behold with alot of wasted space (yes i said so).

they had a pond with different types of fish, they also had a chess play area that was clearly not in use, and streams with water animals, i think i might have seen aligator and monitor lizard roaming about the place.

Hey people, hope you are having a great week, today's post is part 2 of 3 for the post I uploaded  last week, weeks and months back, this post is like 8 months old, sitting pretty in my draft, but never late than never right! so this over due post is finally here, phewww! if you missed the part 1 of this post or forgot about it, you can catch up here.

As per the title, I am going to share with you 10 things out of the many things you can do while in Vegas, most of this things are actually what I did while I was in Vegas december/jan this year. if you plan to go down that route soon, then make sure you have this list on your "to-do-list". When I go on vacation I sometimes like to have a list of places I want to visit, or things I want to try out along side the days and cost, if I know how much, this helps me plan better, I do a good amount of research as well, I also like spontaneous, you cant go wrong on this one as well.

So lets get right into it, in no particular order;

1. Try the CSI (crime scene investigation) The experience


more info on the site here

2. Fountain of Bellagio
this is the best my camera could take, you can find some more pix on google

3. Go for a show in one of the Hotels on the Strip. I attended the cirque du soleil: Mystere. OMG, like this is the first show i ever went for and i was completely blown away, I had goose pimples the whole time, (at the end of the show, some guy was whispering, 'in all my years of going for shows I have never quite seen anything like this, it was great) yeahh, it was awesometastic, make sure to check it out. it was all shades of good. Show available here. Am thinking to see the lion king when next am in London.

4. Visit adventuredome
official site here

pix from google

5. Go on the big bus tour and drop off at the "welcome to Las Vegas" sign.
Info on the big bus tour is available here. I suggest to get the two days pass, because you get the night tour and boat cruise/ride tour with this ticket and discount on the high roller, the CSI The experience and some free vouchers, definitely worth it.


6. Go on a helicopter ride to Grand canyon
more info of the tour available here this is one thing I didn't get to do that I wasn't quite happy about, that's because, I wanted the grand canyon tour and its atleast 350 ish dollars. I had spent passed my budget limit and decided to untick this from my to do list, but when next am down in Vegas by God's grace, am defo going to be on the helicopter ride. am still well upset thinking about this and typing at the same time, I didn't get to change some more pounds to get on this flight, oh well! next time.

7. Watch the Volcano eruption at the Mirage. it was so good, i couldn't be bothered taking pix or making a video but go see it for yourself and guess what, its free to watch!

8. Visit MVG and try the gun shooting experience: going on a gun range is really not my thing, phobia for guns and the sound of it makes my skin crawl, going this experience wasn't really my thing but my bestie really wanted to do it so I took part and it felt good to not just hold a live loaded gun but also to actually shoot it. good experience to try out as well. More info about their site here

9.  Take a walk on the strip at night and enjoy its beauty.

10. Go on the High Roller. you can get this as a deal with the bus tour. and i heard its the tallest roller coaster in the world. enjoy the beauty of Vegas, you might want to for to the VIP bar option. its such a good experience, sorry no pix, or could not get any nice pix that was blogworthy.

11. Go for a meal in one of the hotel restaurants on the strip, definitely try this out, but be aware that its quite an expensive adventure especially if your doing this everyday, but if your cash flow is unlimited, please feel free after all, they say you only live once.

12. Visit to the -5degree bar
I thought this was a fab idea when I heard the name and decided to try it out, everything in the bar is literally made out of ice even the cup your drinking from, is made of ice. well... except the person serving you drinks. how do people even think of things like this anyways? its such a fab experience. loved it. more info on their site here
13. Visit the 800 degrees Pizza restaurant
when you are a foodie and here things like this, your belly leaps for joy. when you get into the restaurant, you order your pizza, it cooks at 800 degree and before you eventually get a sit, your pizza is right there waiting for you. how cool does that sound? erhmmm but sadly, I didnt get the time to stop by this place even though its literally just next door minus5 degree bar, we had too much to do.
more details of them here

14. Fremont Street Experience: there are loads of free things to do here, daily free shows, music and concerts that take place here every evening, while you are there, you can also watch the Viva Vision; this is a display of millions of Led lights along with music across the 1500 foot long video screen beside the mall. One more thing to try out here, its not free but it looks interesting is the Slotzilla's zip line, more info available here, i almost tried it out but had a change of mind as soon as i got there, i wasnt ready to get stuck midway on the line, lol.

15. Visit the thousands of Casinos on the strip and play responsibly.

I guess you didn't notice I mentioned 15 things to do while in Vegas, I got caught up with this list. Most hotel concierge would usually provide you with things you can try out, another resource I found useful was getting the bus tour, they mention every place you can try out and give you some free vouchers and discounts to other tourist attraction, so make sure you get on  the big bus tour.

there's many more things to do but I can only write this much, feel free to mention anything you found super interesting when you visited in prep for my next visit. ahahahaha, it was so good am planning a summer visit, but not this year dou!

Hi people, hope you are well. this post has been long due, so I went to Copenhagen (capital of Denmark) towards the end of last month and its taken almost forever to get this post up as my schedule has been really busy. but hey, the post is finally here *caution* this is a picture overload post, so be prepared with a cuppa tea. lool!

So first night in Copenhagen we stayed in grand hotel just in the centre of the city, if you are looking for somewhere to stay when you visit this beautiful country/city, make sure to check them out. the receptionists were ever so helpful.

we went out that night which I usually do not do, as am always well tired from the trip, We went to shadescph night club as suggested by one of the guys at the reception, oboy!!! the place was lit. we had so much wonderfully made cocktails by our wonderful mixologist host and partied the night away, am not sure how I got back to my hotel room because for the first time in my adult years I had more drinks than I should have had.  that's what happens when the cocktail is too nice and doesn't feel like it has alcohol in it and the drinks were free.

so next day after our recovery (yes, it was a recovery process, am not sure how people drink drunk like all the time, its such a painful horrible feeling, well, for me dou!) we went on to explore the city, we had a bus tour and boat tour, we saw the little mermaid statue.







we also went to Tivoli gardens, watched a few shows there, had a wonder round, had a meal and watched people scream from the rides in the garden.






 


 we wandered around a bit more and absorbed the beauty of the city and its people. would definitely  be going back there in future. this holiday wasn't as chilled as the ones we have had so far, this year, ill really do with about two more holidays before I call it a year :).


 it felt like everyone owned a bicycle in this city, the roads had a massive bicycle lane and people had the right to carry their bicycles in a taxi, more like strapped to the taxi (i found this quite interesting).

Hi people hope you are well. we had a long weekend last week because of the bank holiday on Monday, so i decided it was time for a new adventure. my friend went to Slovenia and i decided to join in the trip as we had a long weekend and who says know to visiting a new city anyways. i took off on a Thursday evening and arrived on Friday evening, it was indeed a long trip plus i had a lay over in Paris. when i got into Ljubljana (this is the capital is Slovenia)  and i was also staying in the coast of the capital which is two hours away from the airport.

on my arrival day, I had so much food and ice cream, oh and the hotel offered a half board package and their meal was awesometastic, i kinda like the idea of half board or full board cos you eat without thinking of the cost. later that evening, I went for a gathering/get together/gala not sure of the right name to call it but you get my drift right!

the second and most important day was were all the fun was, we decided to go scuba diving, just to quickly mention, scuba diving has always been on my to do list for such a long time now and i have been looking for opportunities to do it, as its always cold in the UK, its kinda hard to get it done here. so as soon as the opportunity came, i dived on it.

we went boat riding first which was absolutely beautiful. am sure i will one day own a yacht and sail across the Mediterranean, have family dinner and family holidays in... big dreams!


 alright back to the moment/reality! when we arrived our destination we went through some training video and the real fun began, i kinda looked like i wasn't scared, i was in control, lets do it, but deep down inside, my fear level was going to burst through me, i did see all the beautiful see creatures, my instructor (which by the way, i didn't let go of his hand for 1sec because i was that scared) was absolutely fantastic. i kept going in and out of the water because my ears would not pop when i try to regularise and  i kept thinking 'suppose my airtank stops sending air through, or suppose something goes wrong and i cant go back up the water, or... too much thoughts, sometimes overthinking things actually stops or limits us from doing what we have to/want and need to do. I literally had to slap me out of the excess thought at some point and just enjoyed the moment. the whole experience is something you need to do if you haven't tried it before. it was awesometastic. I totally loved and enjoyed it, i definitely would try it again.




the rest of the trip consisted of eating loads of ice cream, I had more ice cream than I have had in the past 3yrs put together, no jokes.

Is it just me or do you find yourself eating in excess when you go on holiday, if you control your portions, please give me tips on what and how to do it.!
