The entrance to Olumo Rock Tourist Complex. This the first thing we have seen that even pretends to be a Tourist Spot in Nigeria. They charged us to enter, to park, for a guide, to climb the rock and to have our camera. It was a regular racket. If we had wanted to go up the rock in the elevator (lift, to them) it would have been about $5.00 each. We used our feet and climbed the sucker.
The Tourist Group. Linda (Sister Krupp), Elder Krupp, Mike Judson, Elder Odume & Elder Olukanni. The Rock is the feature behind us and the Lift\Elevator is the glass enclosed thingy to the left, behind us. The Rock is 150-160 Meters tall and is made up of three different levels.
This is showing the area surrounding Olumo Rock and the Lift. It is the Rainy Season, so everything is very green.
This shows the two of the Lift stages that one could ride to get to the first level and then the second level of Olumo Rock. We're no slouches. We hiked the Rock!
View of Abeokuta from the First Level of the rock. The city is a few million people, two to three million, maybe. Looking across the roof tops, it could be any city in Nigeria. If you see a roof that is not rust colored, it is newer than 4 years old. Anything older than four years succumbs to the constant heat of the normal season and the rain, rain, rain of the Rainy Season.
