The diary game: Night Travel and Experiences, (11/07/2026)
Hello steemians, How are you all doing
Welcome back to my blog, still yours truly @kinggen.
Sometimes I do think that driving long distance journey are fun to drivers not knowing the stress, challenges behind it and sometimes dey do endure some certain things.
Yesterday night I was opportune to be on the steering for a long distance travel, throughout the day I was overwhelmed and anticipating the fun I would experience during the travel, I had to take some sleep in the afternoon so I wouldn't be carried away by sleep while driving in the night.
When evening time came I just took lite food so I won't purge on the way and bought some colanut and menthol to keep me alive while driving, we were supposed to leave around 7pm but due to rain we had to wait for few hours before leaving so around 9pm we were on track.
Initially I wasn't moving that fast due to some road traffic and busy streets when we came out to the highway there was no other options than to hit the pedal hard,though I was maintaining my speed limit, at the begining it was fun racing with some highway drivers and feeling the cold whether of different communities.
At some points I started feeling dizzy and I was like oh wow upon all the sleep I had earlier, I took some colanut and started chewing small small thank goodness it took it worked out coz I felt my strength again and that was when I remembered the to put on the music and vibe with it
The other people I was traveling with was far deep in sleep and I was left alone to stare at the lonely roads and dogging of some potholes.
When we got to one particular checkpoint I was ordered to step out for search so I obeyed and had to answer few questions well I thought it would take much time but nope it didn't. Ad I continued the journey at some point my leg started paining me so I had reduce my acceleration before I knew it all my body started aching so I had to park at a nearby fuel station to stretch my body so as I was stretching my body another driver carrying passengers noticed me and walked to me and was like seems this is your first time driving a long distance? And I said yes he laughed at me, bought me a cold bottle water and told me to buckle up and endure that's what they do pass through gradually I will get use to like they do.
Well I took the advice and buckled up and continued it wasn't funny again at all but I had to endure because there was no other person to take over, my only companion was the sweet sound of music playing inside the car, there was this particular State we entered I was amazed by the lights, structural design of houses and the interesting part was that everyone was still active like it was daytime.
