Metroplolitan hotel was ok.I was impressed by the improvement on the place. I remember that we used to go there for cokes and meat pies. Gist is, some firm bought into the place and the rest is history.
The next night was the miss carnival queen show. Unfortunately I could not attend and that’s how my vip tickets were wasted. sob, sob.
The next day I visited the mariners resort and the museum and at night I attended the Awilo show. Olu maintain also performed. Fantastic!
I had a nice day the next day visiting old friends and generally going round Calabar.

29th saw me going to Tinapa. Boy was I impressed! I dare say the place is world class. Was it the studios, the shops, the hotels or the grounds?
