I had the most amazing evening yesterday! Gosh. My colleague Doris and I decided that we would try to let our hair down a bit before we lose it all completely by pulling it out of our heads in the course of the day; so we decided to go to Tinapa Lakeside Hotel which is just beside the office. A walking distance – if you’re a long distance runner. Since I am not a long distance runner, I called John my trusty cabbie.
Tinapa Lakeside Hotel does a Calabar night every week where they serve up over 20 dishes for you to choose from and Doris and I had a very simple plan; we would decimate that table, finish all the food and then roll contentedly home. We were ready for action.
The Tinapa Lakeside hotel is beautiful! I don’t have any pictures of the outside; forgive me. I was too busy gisting on the way in and too overfed on the way out. But I will try to take some on my next visit; really lovely place.

We walked in and were met by smily staff who opened our car door and ushered us in and generally made us feel like royalty.
