It was important that we didn't just go to play places but also experience the different cultures and having a northern food experience was one we needed to have. 

Opeyemi Famakin (The biggest food critic in Nigeria) was in Abuja at the time and he decided to show us the perfect place to experience northern food in Abuja and off we went. We had never tried northern food before and it was a good experience. 

All the things different about the experience

1. We put off our shoes at the door   

2. We sat on the floor 

3. Base ingredients are not unfamiliar but the way and manner they cooked it is what makes the difference. 

We tried 

Cuddles loved the Masa and I loved the Denderu and Kunu that I had. It was a better experience than all the kunu I had tasted. It was sweet, light and no ginger. Lol. 

Mitya encouraged me to try something new and I didn't' regret it at all. Cuddles still asks and talks about Ope till today because he convinced my son to be a soldier and gave him a gift. 

I am glad he got to experience not just all the play places but still takes a bit of the culture with him. 

Abuja doesn't have a lot of water bodies so when we saw this Kayaking place we decided to check it out. 

My son saw this bubble thing and wanted to do it and since I am heavy on experiences, why not?

There's not much just a few things to note if you want to go

1. We had to wait some minutes before someone answered us because they went to pray.

2. They have a space that is great for picnics.

3. The place is not big, don't expect too much in terms of the looks of the "water" side

4. There was a wait time to use the bubble, wasn't sure if they have just one.

5. Use insect repellent. There were tiny things biting. I saw them give the people who did kayak mosquito repellent.

6. Ask for the attendant to be present, I saw the experience was different if you're trying to run yourself vs  when they are pushing you front and back (like in the video)

Cuddles clearly had fun. He was laughing at the person that went before him for falling down until it was his turn and he saw it wasn't as easy as he thought.
