 I sacrificed my Christmas to be at Obudu. I gave up Family time to make Sure everything worked out well.   I am happy I did. The Resort was full to the Limit that Chaos was almost erupting at the Small Restaurant every Morning for Breakfast. Families Every where and not Enough Seats so we have to take turns.

One of the staff looked at me when I asked her to Smile and Confessed 'Oga I am really Tired'. She has been Standing since Morning.
