Yemen: 22nd-29th of October
The way I see it there will be very few opportunities for me to get to Yemen, nestled as it is between Saudi Arabia and Oman on one side and Eritrea, Somalia, and the almighty Djibouti on the other (across the Red Sea). So Lyna and I are taking advantage of the Eid holiday to whip on down for a week. I don't actually know all that much about the country, I am hearing mixed reviews that range from 'a beautiful untouched country' through to 'hmmmm... okay'

Yemen sounds like the perfect place to go to with no truly ingrained preconceptions of what to expect because of the experience of others.
It'll be interesting to find out what you think of Yemeni people. I hear they are hardy.
Enjoy the time away John.
Hardy is a very apt description. Genuine and friendly, but you know that at a drop of a hat they will be there to defend what is important... family, tribes, friends, country. Much respect to that. I admire their ability to prioritise that which is truly important in their lives.
