CONTEST #8 || WEEK-2||MY HOLIDAY TIME

in Steemit City4 years ago

Hello Good People,

I am here once again to bless you with a wonderful narration of my holiday time. Certainly, I am going to give you a compact narration of how this particular holiday went.
However, before I begin, you need to know that I am a big fan of travels. I would hastily pick a job that will involve me rampaging the whole length and breath of this world without giving it much thoughts.

No matter how short or long the distance is, I would readily oblige. To think that I would be going to a new place, where I get to relax and explore the environment is an extra incentive for me. This is the reason I have never opted out of a planned holiday so far even unplanned ones.
This particular holiday took me right inside some rural settlement.

As an addict to natural features and environment too, I couldn't resist the urge to join in on this one.

This is spot afforded me a wider view of the water and the surrounding land. This river is said to connect to many other ones channelling across the state. I think I will someday take a sea trip across my state.

I was visiting Itu Local Government Area of my state, Akwa Ibom State. I was in company of some friends.

That very spot I am pointing to is another state entirely. Is that not awesome? Like just some few meters across water and you land in someone else's state. Interesting!

This is a border Local Government with another state ( Cross River State). This particular holiday was quite memorable and sweet

I am literally smiling right now just looking at this photo. I can't remembering the fresh breath I was taking in by this time.

Can you notice the sharp rise in ground level between my position and the adjacent lands. This is the beautiful topography that Itu has.

Also, the amazing combination of epic land features with that of the sea close by, was superb.

I needed to see as much I could. So I went down to the river bank. That guy and the boat in the background just ferried in. I strongly mused over the thought of taking a ferry across the water but I had to familiarize with the environment first.

What a beauty. What can you say about this? Just take a look at what nature holds. This is a masterpiece of art. The earth is truly amazing.

I felt so close to nature and interestingly, it was a splendid feeling. I didn't quite stay for long, but in my brief stay, I fell in love, once again with nature.

You can Simply understand the abundance of fresh fish and other see foods here. This is a harvest by a fisherman on his return trip. Can you imagine how nutritious a meal prepared with these would be? It is better experienced dear.

Sighting this hospital brought streams of memories to me. I am just Imagining the fate of those innocent twins that were dumped in dense forest because of no faults of theirs. What really happened to them.
Also, to think that Mary Slessor was able to weave her way through this deleterious terrain to establish a hospital here is amazing. She was truly an angel.

The few negatives here was that, the terrain was exhausting. I literally got panting just moving from place to place. A hill here, a valley they, some water to cross, some gully to jump over and a whole lot of draining activities.

Though, this was actually fun for me on the whole.

Take this one for the road. I truly could not stop smiling from my landing till when I left Itu. I could not just ignore the allurement of this place.

The road down here was bad. I was afraid the car will just topple over into the water as the water was just a few centimeters from the road.

Another major fear was that if the car was to break down, then I was doomed as it would take days to get someone to fix it or find an alternative means of moving.

Be that as it may, I was able to get totally awesome experience.

I even wished I could spend more time here so as to keep enjoying the fresh air and savouring the rich environment. Plus the additional thrill of seafoods. What a place!
