On the way back from Hodeida to Sana I made a choice of a/c bus (1200 YER insted of 1000 for regular) not because I like luxury but because the station in Hodeida is closer to the hotel.
It was 6.20 when I was walking there through the Peoples Garden – oh, camels! There were eating grass and leaves and then walked the wice central street.
Scheduled departure: 6.30 real: 7.10
It takes 5 hours to climb the mountains and to reach the capital of Yemen. Then I walked in the strong sun to “bank front gate Street” – it starts opposite to the gate of Central Bank. Al Ikhwa Hotel – I think it is best value for money: 1500 (after bargaining 1300) for single with bath, hot water and TV. It is clean, old fashion and only one old man there speaks english. First in the same street is Asia Tourist (twice expensive) then Sayun then 100 m to Al-Ikhwa. The choice is yours…
Sorry, nothing new regarding my Saudi visa…
