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. 

The one experience you need to experience in Abuja. 

I cannot explain in words how I felt here. Maybe because it was a whole different experience from our trip or just how welcoming they were here but whatever it was, it was a great experience. 

Our journey there didn't come without its hiccups but if you have a car then you don't have to worry about such. I would say hire a taxi for the day if you can. 

Somewhere in the backside of Abuja this gem is situated. 

We had a tour guide that educated us on how the pottery go from raw clay to the pottery that we see and use and I must say it was very enlightening. 

What I liked? 

I absolutely loved everything about the experience. It was different and definitely worth it. 

I don't think there is anything I didn't like about it. 

Things to note

1. The drive is a bit long and if you are going with kids, snacks won't help

2. You can inform them ahead because they have the option to do grilled fish 

3. Your pottery is ready in about 2 weeks 

4. Ask all your questions

Price 

Tour 1k

Pottery 2k 

Price range of pottery to buy 1000 - x where x = infinity 

5/5 Cuddly loves 

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

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)
