Today we moved away from the comfort of a hotel for five nights of camping, each night in a different place. Driving out of Hadiboh, our first stop was the Dihamri Marine Protected Area where we swam and snorkelled amongst the fish. It was heavenly. We ate freshly caught fish for lunch.

The drive to our next stop, in fact, our nightstop included a very steep portion. Here we had to walk up while Omar took the 4WD up. Apparently it was illegal to carry anyone up that steep bit.
We saw frankincense trees, a few Dragon Blood trees and many other trees that looked like Dragon Blood to my untrained eyes.
At the Homhil Protected Area campsite, we set up our tents. Omar made dinner at a shack nearby. We retired to our tents afterwards. We had a dirty squat toilet available for our use. Little did I know that this would be a luxury as we had no toilets (or open-air natural toilets, I guess) for the coming days.
In the night, curious goats came around our sleeping areas and upset the tents a little, but enough for them to topple over.
