Somaliland bound

With all of our free time due to Yemen falling through, we are able to go overland to Hargeisa, Somaliland. This trip by car will take four days round trip, with an overnight in Hargeisa. Last night we secured a vehicle and driver to take us to the border town of Jijiga, where we will cross the border and take a 4 hour bus ride. This is all contingent on us being able to get a visa for reentry from the Ethiopian government before we leave. I have a feeling that money will be exchanged today. I don’t know what the internet capabilities of Somaliland are, so this blog may be dark for the next 4 days or so. How bad can a 30 hour car ride one way be?

    Ryan, I do read the blog every day, you know… So keep it up, provide more updates and share more photos of the places you visit – it is really cool to be able to see that part of the world even through your digital camera 🙂

    Ryan, it was a pleasure to meet you in Dubai and sorry we did not get time to chat on the Gluten Free issues. Love the blog. Keep it up. I took 300+ photos in a weeks time (Doha and Dubai). Awesome learning, this travel. Keep up the blog. Judy
