Laura On Holiday



I was on holiday from school AGAIN (not complaining) for half term.  I had a week to relax and unwind.  I decided not to leave Lagos but to, instead, spend time with my Lagos peeps and try out some of the new places to go.  The week started in a calm, peaceful way.  I had coffees in nice little cafes like Quintessence, I bought some clothes from new shops like Rofhaus and I attended some events like the Trade Delegation at the Austrian Embassy, a fashion event at the Porsche garage and an art exhibition at the Civic Centre.  It was blissful and fun and I met some interesting new people.  I had a few glasses of wine; I chatted and held my own with Lagos’s up and coming creative minds.

This sophisticated and sensible ‘Laura On Holiday’ didn’t last too long.  I was tempted by the beers and margaritas at Bottles.  I was all too happy to glug down wine and get drunk on the conversation at Ocean’s Basket while nibbling on sushi.  I was enthusiastic to accept the free double vodkas and red bull at Sip and I allowed myself to be dragged from a club and bundled into my car before my eighteen year old crazy self (who I so dearly love and miss) made an appearance.  The week deteriorated into a drunken oblivion.   Loud, luvvy, drunken ‘Laura On Holiday’ came out to play.  But man it was good.  The memories made are like gold.  The week ended with a lovely chilled Sunday at my pool with friends.  Lagos Living indeed.
