9:15 a.m.<\/span> Find calm in a cathedral<\/span><\/p>\n If you wake up early enough, visit the beautiful Cathedral Church of Christ<\/a> in the Lagos Island neighborhood for the early morning service. Ambitious, perhaps, after a big night out, but you won\u2019t be alone: A fact of Lagos life is that both its dance floors and churches are full, and with many of the same people. The trip is worth it alone to see the cathedral\u2019s grand exterior up close, right in the heart of Lagos Island\u2019s bustling business district, which features some of the city\u2019s Afro-Brazilian architecture. As a prominent church, it\u2019s used to welcoming guests, but only go if you\u2019re planning to stay for the whole service, usually about two hours.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n 12 p.m.<\/span> Unwind by the sea<\/span><\/p>\n Recover from your night out with a day at the beach. Before you go, grab a local favorite snack: a subtly seasoned meat pie with fried minced beef or chicken, potatoes and vegetables, encased in flaky, buttery pastry. Head to your nearest Milk and Honey<\/a> cafe (there is one in Lekki and one in Ikoyi) and fill a bag with meat or chicken pies (3,520 naira), sausage rolls (2,530 naira), and little doughnut-style bites known as puff puff (1,430 naira). With your goodies, head to Tarkwa Bay Beach<\/a>, accessible via a 15-minute boat ride (9,000 naira) from a number of jetty locations<\/a> in Victoria Island and Ikoyi. Stretch out, catch the sun and read the book you bought at Jazzhole while enjoying the vast Lagos coastline.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
