Djibouti to Somaliland Overland

 “It was the worst journey I’ve ever taken,” Ruth warned us. We were hanging out in Djibouti city discussing our upcoming travel plans, specifically how we were planning to cross from Djibouti to Somaliland overland. This involves an overnight 4×4 trip through the desert, with no roads to be found. Ruth had just done the journey in the other direction. 

I’m not sure if it’s just us, but whenever someone makes a claim like that, the first thing I want to know is where else they’ve travelled, and what kind of journeys they’ve done. You need some basis for comparison, at least. And in this case, we’d all been travelling in Africa for a long time, and we’d definitely all had some pretty terrible journeys.
