Waking up to see land after a blue sea journey is

Waking up to see land after a blue sea journey is always a fantastic feeling - thoughts like "yah - fresh food" or "yah we can sleep all night - no midnight shifts" and "yahoo - we made it safe and sound" and in this case "hurray - we've made it so far with no pirates" run through your head along with many others. As we were thinking all these things and more, this is what we saw as we rounded the eastern end of Socotra and made our way to the only anchorage on the island. It was a stunning island from our viewpoint - Schreiber reds, silvery- white cliffs, massive bright white sand-dunes, rugged peaks towering, and very little sign of human inhabitation!
⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
But on this journey, the war against Iran had started while we were on our way from the Maldives. We did not know if we would be able to keep going up to the Red Sea or if the Houthis might manage to effectively shut down the Bab al Mandep, or, if the Suez Canal might be closed to small yachts - or whatever else could happen at all. It might mean we need to go to Oman to leave the boat in a marina and all fly out from there. So we decided to stop in Socotra to wait and see! The war was only a couple of days old at this point and nothing was clear. So we felt all the normal emotions of reaching land but with the added puzzle of what would the war mean for us and our journey!

🌸🌸🌸 The amazing Bottle Trees on Socotra! 🌸🌸🌸

These were the most beautiful things you could imagine - and what a survivor of a plant!!
As you drive around Socotra you see an arid and rocky, but beautiful wild mountainous desert land. A few small plants the sizes of garden daisy's and many short scrubby bushes and tiny trees surviving, alongdide the occasional date palm grove with their deep green fronds. Sadly, the only other color comes from the scourge of the planet - plastic!
UNTIL.... we reach a grove of these Bottle Trees, or desert roses, which of course I fall immediately in love with. It is spring and they are in flower. A hillside covered in these incredible trees, with bulbous pale trunks and delightful pink flowers sprinkled on top is truly a sight to see - I have to be forced leave!
They are in fact a succulent with a massive, swollen trunk for water storage. I cannot say which is more impressive - these or the dragon blood trees - I leave grudgingly after running my hands over many trunks marvelling at them all - I also only take 100 photos!!!

(Yes Im back after so long - and so I have to say thanks for seeing and liking and commenting after such an absence. Ill try and catch up with you all this week and see what youve been doing - have a beautiful day 😊)

We sailed into Socotra with no sign of any Somali

We sailed into Socotra with no sign of any Somali pirates and a war brewing that you all know about - so it was a great journey and great treat to get here. We were not sure if we could keep sailing to the Red Sea or would have to stop and head to Oman. Good to sit here and see what happens.
I didn't know where to start with this fascinating land so I start with the most iconic plant of Socotra of course - the famous
Dragon's Blood Tree (Dracaena cinnabari). It is just like the pictures you see with its umbrella-shaped green top over gnarled trunks and branches showing the wear and tear of age. We travelled far and wide - mostly to see the famous grove of these trees. We also went to a small conservation plot as the tree is under threat due to the goats that dot the land everywhere. Unbelievably slow growers - although it makes sense with the harsh winds and arid landscape - the trees you see are hundreds or thousands of years old. The small almost flax like little ones are 25 years old alone (see the last pic). The real issue is the goats, which locals depend upon, love the baby plants. So unless they are fully grown already, they have absolutely no hope of survival.
You can see why it got its name as when you pick off the little lumps you find on the tree, you find its red, blood-like sap (2nd to last pic).
This is crushed and used by local women as a face decorator - we couldn't find out what it does exactly but our guides smeared some on our female faces all the same.
We picnicked under the shade of an ancient tree high on a plateau overlooking another huge wadi, where we were joined by a group of very easy going Egyptian vultures - and of course some goats! They could see us coming for sure!!

I have limited internet so apologies if I haven't responded to your posts or comments. I will catch up when Im in full internet again! XO

No pirates, but we did meet the biggest dolphins we've ever seen!! At first we thought they were pilot whales. We even heard them "talking" to each other from the bow - unreal!! Never heard it out of the water before. What a treat!!
This was in the Arabian Sea off Somalia heading towards Socotra. We are now safely anchored in Socotra. 🐬🐬

Sri Lankas famous train ride! Kandy to Ella - no l

Sri Lankas famous train ride! Kandy to Ella - no longer possible since the cyclone but you can go from Abwele to Ella (the most scenic part) and from Ella to Badulla (over the famous Nine Arch Bridge and way less crowded!) To avoid the crowds and standing without a window or door spot, either get there 2.5 hours before at Abwele, or go from Ella to Badulla.
Enjoy!!

Sigiriya's Pidurangala Rock - a sunrise hike with views to Lion Rock. I wouldn't bother doing it at sunrise even on a clear day as there will be much less people there later! We had to queue to get up!! Not my thing!
