We are now in Jos at the Crest Hotel visiting our family Uncle Matt and Aunt Justine. They own the largest chicken farm. Esther Rose is liking the baby chicks. Many pictures to share and hopefully will be able to post once we return to Abuja. The internet has been very unreliable at our past hotels. The drive to Jos was about 3 hours.
Jos is one of the nicest places to visit in Nigeria. It's the capital of the Plateau State and is located at an elevation of 1300 metres above sea level, which means that it is cooler here than anywhere else in the country most of the time.
The main attraction of the town is the Jos Museum Complex, which consists of four separate museums and a zoo. Skip the Railroad and the Tin Mining Museum and head for the Jos National Museum and the Traditional Nigerian Architecture Museum.
If you are spending a few days here you might consider paying a visit to the Rock Brewery. They have guided tours with an all you can drink buffet for reasonable prices.
Jos is surrounded by beautiful hills, the most welknown being the Shere Hills (1800m). Also the Jarawa hills, the Vom Hills and the Gana Wuri. Many tourists choose Jos for trekking and hiking.
None of them rival the world's highest ranges, but you can work up a hearty appetite climbing up them. Factor in their natural beauty and the various streams and dams around, the area makes a perfect picnic spot.
I hope to send more information within the next couple days.
Best Regards
