Hi
Was in Djibouti last week. I met some people who are living in Sanaa and spoke to me about Socotra...Travelblog make me think that the world is truly a small place. Not in the area though anymore....would have been fun to bump in each others, I'm back home in Bangkok...different place! Great blog you've got!
