The
Worst Journey We’ve Done?
Honestly,
no. There’s no denying it was bumpy. It was uncomfortable. The lack of a few
hours to nap made it tiring.

Somaliland 12 The Worst Journey We’ve Done?
Somaliland 11
We saw a few animals along the way, too. Some form of a jackal (we think – the Russian guy insisted it was a hyena, but it definitely wasn’t big enough), a couple of antelopes… nothing too exciting, but still pretty cool to come across them in the middle of the Somaliland desert.
Our 4×4
arrived in Hargeisa at around 5 am the following morning.

Somaliland 10 Checkpoints
There were a few stops along the way, too. The first had options for food and drinks if people wanted, though only our driver got anything at this stop. There were then toilet breaks along the way – a couple seemed the be scheduled stops, and others were just whenever one of us asked for a stop.
Numerous
checkpoints were encountered, too. Usually, there would have been a stop
overnight to camp for a few hours and sleep, but we had a very impatient
Russian group in our car who were… well, rushing… to get to Hargeisa for some
reason. So that rest break got skipped.

Somaliland 9 Banging Our Heads
The journey itself was then pretty much just ten and a half hours of the same thing. Bumping along through the desert under a starry sky, listening to music for the majority of the journey.
And yes,
we were definitely being bounced around a lot and banging our heads off the
roof of the car a few times. But after changing how we were sitting – slouching
down, wedging our knees against the row of seats in front – we could avoid that
on all but the biggest bumps.
