Olumo rock is located at Abeokuta in Nigeria, is one of the most popular tourist center which attract a lot people due to it unique cultural value ,which represent the Yoruba culture and the history surrounding it foundation.
The Yorubas take and value this rock because it served as a means of safety and refuge where the people ran too when they were being captured and taken into salvery by colonial forces.
My friend called to inform me few days before new year that she would love us to visit olumo rock with another friend of ours and I casually agreed to go because I want to have a little bit fun and connect with nature.
BUT GUESS WHAT? My friend called to remind me of our journey to olumo rock but the introvert in me said NO, however my friend tried to convince and I readily I agreed to follow her.
I and my friends got to olumo rock, we purchased our ticket at the entrance of the gate after which my friends I proceeded to explore the mini world been introduced to us.
As we entered the tourist center, we were welcomed by a tour guide who lead us to an art gallery. We went inside to feed our eyes with the amazing galleries which flooded the space where it was been kept and I must say it was a beautiful sight to behold and the craft and portrait were designed beautifully that I wish I could buy one of the art product to take home with me.
Another beautiful moment to behold was the climbing of the stairs to get to the mountain top. Climbing the stairs to the mountain top was not easy but what could I have done? I was the one who wanted to explore after all . As I climbed, I noticed the scenery around me like places, houses, people and vehicles on the road made me realize how simple life is but can also be hard based on how one view life to be.
After all the adventurous visit we were tired that we had to find somewhere to sit so we could discuss the plans we have this year.
After we discussed at length we took pictures and went home. That all on my visit to olumo rock, thanks for reading through.
