Day 60 (Saturday, November 27, 2021)
Costs for the Day are in the Table below:
Today, I woke up at 8am, made a cup of coffee and had some granola for breakfast. I listened to the news on the new Omicron Covid variant out of South Africa and the significant drop in the stock market. Sounds like it will be a rough time for the markets in the weeks ahead but I feel confident with our financial position so I am not too worried.
I am trying to set some things up for Bi’s upcoming birthday so I booked a Tour for December 10th through Seafaris. (Cost: 80.30 EUR). It leaves from the Lagos marina and goes from 11:30am to 1pm. It should be fun!
Later in the morning, I walked to Lagos Shopping Center which is a couple blocks away and bought some Decorations. (Cost: 4.35 EUR) Then I came back to the apartment and biked to Intermarche for some grocery shopping. (Cost: 65.70) I also picked up some cards from the Tabacaria Ameijeira which is right next to Intermarche and inside the same building. (Cost 5 EUR). There is a gas station outside with an air pump and I was noticing my bike tires were getting low so I filled them up for free at the gas station. My backpack was full of groceries, so I biked back to the apartment to drop everything off.
Then I biked to Hiper China Lagos and picked up some more decorations (Cost: 50 EUR)
Meanwhile, Bi met up with some friends for lunch at Mar Restaurante. (Cost: 13 EUR) Mar is set atop a cliff overlooking Praia dos Estudantes. It is a small little restaurant but the view is phenomenal.
After lunch, they went for a beach/cliff hike and then had some wine at our apartment. Bi picked up the wine from the wine shop around the corner. (Cost: 4.5 EUR)
Whoa.. 50€ for decorations!!? Didn’t realize it was soo expensive.. but they were so pretty and I only turn 21 once .. HA
It was 50 EUR and actually a little more since I exchanged some items for credit (28 EUR) but then spend an additional 10 EUR since the helium was 38 EUR. So it was 60 EUR total and most of the cost ended up being helium. I’m not sure how much helium would be in the US. I am happy about how the decorations turned out though!
