The train ride back home from my uncle's wedding was awesome. The wedding itself was a blast! The guests were beautifully dressed and there was plenty to eat and drink.

When we got to the train station, we saw a lot of people moving around and luggage everywhere.

2

After that we were handed our tickets which we used to board the train.

3

When we boarded the train, we saw a lot of passengers, some of them families seated together and some were single passengers.

4

I almost forgot to mention that in order to meet up with the train, we needed to wake up at the crack of dawn and leave the house very early.

5

My mum prepared a lot of food for the journey but also got us some snacks and soft drinks from the restaurant...within the train! The meat pie and sandwiches were very tasty.

6

We passed by many villages and also saw bridges and rivers on the way.

7

And bushes, trees and hills. The vegetation along the way was so green and lush!

Finally we got back to Abuja. Home, Sweet Home!
