Organised chaos of Lagos Island

So the big news is that we finally have a driver! Which is amazing. It finally means I don't feel landlocked anymore and we can go out like normal people. Although, having a driver doesn't actually feel that normal.
I've been itching to head into Lagos Island, which is the main CBD area of Lagos. 
First of all we went to the National Museum, which was super interesting (albeit a big dusty and cobwebby), with heaps of relics displayed the spiritual traditions of the indigenous tribes.  Unfortunately we couldn't take a camera in here, but anyway. 
We then began the wander down towards the markets. Along the way we saw:

1. The reason that you do not want to get sick in Nigeria. 

2. The reason I do not want to give birth in Nigeria.
Somehow this photo turned out looking okay. In reality this place looked like a 200 year old mental hospital. Not good.

Seriously though, it was an amazing day experiencing the richness of this busy city.... check out the photos.
