Journal Entry:
Train day. Took the ferry from Lisbon, caught a train, caught another train, and got off in Lagos early evening. I had tried calling to find lodging from the ferry terminal in Lisbon, but every place in the guide book was already full. A woman on the train was placing people in private rooms and it was fairly reasonable so I took a look. The room is very clean, fairly close to down town and gets a nice ocean breeze. I'm sharing the room with another guy, a Austrian medical student. Went out , Lagos has a huge collection of bars, pubs, and clubs. Everyplace is packed with tourists, and tons of expats. Haven't seen so many expats since Dahab.
