The first stop was a radio station where they granted an interview; but what is a tour without exploring local delicacies? The C9ja team treated themselves to some nice country-side delicacies.

Unravelling the city of Enugu which prides itself of natural sceneries from the Ngwo Pine Forest to the Ngwo cave to Ezeagwu Tourist Complex was a baggage of experiences.

The tour started with an exciting experience at the Ngwo Pine Forest; a serene and peaceful forest with a beautiful display of pine trees.

The trek to the Ngwo Cave proved to be a tough one. It required piloting your way through the enormous constellation of trees at the beautiful Ngwo Pine Forest, and they found themselves lost on three (3) counts. Obviously, their tour guide hadn't been down there in twenty (20) years. Getting through the sharp twists and turns along the stone-paved track, they came upon a gently running conduit of crystalline spring waters overlaying the valley floor.

The Ngwo cave was naturally carved in marble rocks and is adorned with a captivating waterfall plummeting down from a small opening at the top of the cave. The water from the fall forms a surface pool at the base of the cave and runs out as a small stream.

When they were done exploring the Ngwo Pine Forest and Cave, they headed back, this time towards Ezeagwu Tourist Complex. But that wasn't to be.

New in that city, they were left to the mercy of Google Maps, and ended in a different community instead of their intended destination. However, it turned into a blessing as they got led to a small village called Okpu Oku where they met thrilled villagers who were quite pleased to receive them and made their time worth it. It was also in this small community that met a Basil Anieze at Aguogba Ezeagu, who is an expert in extracting and processing Palm oil. He took out time to show them his work process.

The Okpu-Oku experience didn't end there. They went on to explore the stream the community prided itself of having, and had an awesome time enjoy its warmth before taking their leave. It ended up being a good diversion, as they were able to create great memories with the C9 here.
