Our trip to Ado Awaye was fun and interesting.
As early as 6.40am we were all assembled at the National Stadium Surulere all ready to go.

We had to leave early because of the monthly sanitation exercise.

The journey was smooth and as usual we began to chat in the bus. In our usual tradition, we kicked off with the Naija Tourist introduction, then we suddenly realized that we had a good number of bankers in the house. Then we all began to jist and of course we discussed politics etc.

We had a brief stop at Soka Bus stop in Ibadan for breakfast. Our adorable caterer Zuriells Pot provided a delicious meal for the journey ahead.
We decided to chill for about 45 minutes then we continued.
Another quick stop at Tantalizers in Iwo Road and we proceeded to the second part of our journey.

Eventually we got to Ado Awaye in the afternoon through Iseyin.

At the foot of the hills, baba was on ground to welcome us all. He also gave us instructions. I still remember those words from baba " If your chest is paining you don't climb o" then concerning the Lake "don't enter inside o". Then he appointed a young man as our Tour guide.

Then the climb began. It was a long physical task. Some could not continue but the "strong" people made it to the tops

The site and scenery was just amazing and we took pictures.
Then we got to the tree that has the shape of an elephant. We all took pictures and of course the professors in the house had a debate concerning rock formations etc.

Then we finally made it to the Lake.

Nice. My dad is from Iseyin and my mum is from Ado Awaye. I am sure you had fun

Nice. Can we see a pic of the tree that looks like an elephant?....and the lake?

It's right on top of the mountain. Never dries up

Ok... never realized you were on a mountain top! Is the water good to drink?... or like filled with ehmm...chemicals or just plain nasty?!

The Lake, the tree and all other landmarks all on the Mountain top. The water is not good to drink. If you drink then you are on your own.
Also human beings are not advised to enter into the Lake. They believe the gods will get angry and he or she will never come out.
You can touch and feel the water though.

On Sunday we decided to stop by In Ibadan,
We paid a visit to Agodi Parks and U. I Zoo.
