Day 19, Yemen, Socotra Island, Delisha Beach
What a strange feeling! Two weeks ago I arrived on this Island and slept the first night in a hotel of the capital Hadiboh. 7'000 inhabitants live in Hadiboh. I was impressed about this town, in comparison to european cities it seemed that there was nothing in town. Nearby no paved roads, no bars, only simple stone houses, people walking around without shoes, goats everywhere, rubbish everywhere, no couches, only a few cars driving around and so on. Now after two weeks of wild camping I feel also impressed in another way about this town. After the checkin in a simple hotel I felt happy to see a bed, there is even a mirror (I haven't seen my face during the past 2 weeks), a toilet, electricity, there are plenty of cars on the road, shops, people walking around, lights, a small internet point (the only one on the island which is very slow). Your eyes, your mind, your soul adapt to the environment you are living with.
