Sheraton Hotel, Abuja. N09 03.745 E007 29.102  Distance driven 0 
km This is our 7th day here and we are dying to get away! We filled in the day 
by re-provisioning, hardware shopping, banking and internet. Having heard that 
the local Land Rover agent was the best stocked in Africa, I decided to buy a 
spare fuel lift pump, which was quite a mission.  It took them 45 minutes 
to identify the part, then another 30 minutes to find out if they had one in 
stock (they did).  In the middle of all this the lights went out and the 
computer system crashed.  After nearly two hours I had an invoice, paid for 
the part and walked away with it.  I can't say I am very impressed 
by Land Rover's representation in Africa.  An hour in the Elephant Bar for Happy Hour and then a chicken stir-fry in 
our lovely new wok, a present from Max in Accra. |
