I have always wanted and desired to visit large water bodies like the big rivers we have all over the world but I never had the opportunity.
This is so because all of my life as a child, my parents will not let any of us visit waterbodies. They would say that water is sweet only in the cup. They had and still have phobia, I'd say.
So I was really excited about my little excursion to the river situated at Abuloma, Port Harcourt city in Nigeria. It is really far from my place of residence but I was ready to go through the stress.
The river was really large in size. I discovered that oil companies were extracting crude oil from underneath the river via offshore drilling platforms.
Also, the river is believed to contain large amount of fishes. This was evident in numerous fishermen present.
The riverside was really really cold and chilly. Many fishermen were present fishing and having big catches as well. More so, I saw many canoes and boats; lots of persons were travelling using it and it was exciting watching the boats being paddled.
I imagined myself joining the boats but I was too afraid to jump in. The sight of large water bodies is really scary but worthy of tourism. It is really exciting and fun filled.
I hope to visit another some other time!!!!
