THE TRIP

Day one (Tuesday) 
Trip to Okpe Kingdom for Ibukun Fashanu's wedding (official)
6-day vacation for Ibukun Fashanu's wedding.
Floral dress by knonyekouture - UMI factory




DAY ONE
Bukky, Linda, Barbara and i took off to Okpe from our office at 11:00hrs.
Shortly after we arrived, showered and ate, we went over the plans/tasks for the week/weekend with the directors (my task was to assign some guests to the available chalets/rooms) and by the way, I recently had my Mtn ported to Etisalat and I'm stuck in this village for almost one week without service/internet. Oh boy! This is gonna be my personal #BBA experience *teeth*







Day two(Wednesday)
Chalets
We had a meeting with the bosses, and were given various tasks for the day. We had breakfast right after the meeting (scrambled eggs, bread and tea).
Most of their family (and friends) members arrived today and were shown around and taken to their rooms respectively.

The arrival of guests

My rooms are good to go. My first two guests arrived at 16:00hrs and i showed them to their rooms and waited for the others. I had breakfast at the club house - scrambled eggs, bread/butter and a cup of tea, thanks to our wonderful chef; Akwash. Later in the day, i checked up on my cleaning ladies and then i had basmati rice, curry potato sauce and chicken for lunch at the clubhouse buffet. *pats stomach*
A live band was scheduled to play later at night but I was terribly exhausted to I went straight to bed. *yawns*
