I took the bus to Massawa. Bus terminal is located in the northern part of Asmara – close to the catholic church with big dome. People are friendly and they will show you the way.
It is still Africa but I must say that bus service is very efficient.
Yes, we were waiting until the bus was full but then everybody got a ticket and they were loading up only as many passengers as they have seats available. No crowd in the african bus!… Did you travel by african bus? Such a luxury is hard to imagine! And 4-hour ride cost only 20 Nakfa- less then a dollar! The journey through the mountains is very picturesque: a lot of switchbacks, up and downs… The views are stuning – take a right site window seat going to the coast if available. After 4 hours you will disembark the bus in hot and humid Massawa… Have a rest – you are back in the tropics!
