Comments: 

I travelled from Oman to Yemen and then from Yemen to Djiboutiy. I arrived at 08:00 in the little harbour from Al Makha and asked arround. After a bit of bargaining I paid the equivalent of 100 Dollar.

The boat was an original Arabian Dhow, filled with pots, pans, mattresses, onion, bottles of water etc etc.

Only problem was getting the bike on board, I had to drive across the 25 cm wide plank, 4 meters above sea to the ship, which was placed 3 meters from the shore...

Arriving in Djibouti was easy peasi as they were not expecting a foreigner between all the onions. They unloaded my bike with muscle force, stamped my passport and off I went.
