What a great report, thank you. I always love a good dose of hauteboy exotica, and this does not disappoint. Yemen has been on my to do list for a little while now, and this reinforces that ambition. Looking forward to more instalments...

What made Eritrea such a gem, pycut? It's not somewhere one ever hears about in a travel context. Even makes Yemen look on the beaten track...
