The beach, which do not eat crabs - Part 3

Unique island of Socotra (continued, part 3) Around 3 am I was awakened by a loud sound. I thought it was a morning prayer. But shortly from the village once again heard loud noises, like someone was collecting animals in the herd. The night was cold, but I still slept well. The day was sunny. I did some more photos in the woods, and we are again on the bumpy road, got back on the highway. On that day we went to the coast. On the road I found a large white rocks that my driver named mountains Cairo. I think, Socotra was on the bottom of the sea millions of years, because of its mountains, you can find a coral reef limestone. From there we drove to the caves Degap. This is a huge cave, but inside there is nothing but rubbish and any nonsense. I climbed the hill, where he first saw the tourists. Three jeeps heading in our direction. They were tourists from Germany. We left before they were able to reach us, and in a city with many military barracks fill the car. Bottle Tree We stayed at the beach Nodzhed, a beautiful deserted beach with some sand dunes. Lunch at ekootele called Amaco. Fifteen hundred riyals (about seven dollars) for dinner. We fell asleep with Ali, while we were carrying food. The portions were so big that we alone could not cope with the royal fish and rice. Ali turned and took the leftovers with me so we can eat them for dinner. From there we went to the sand dunes, which were in a place called Zahak. Blindingly bright sun, very dry. I barely walked through the dunes. The sun was too bright to photograph anything. Bottle tree in bloom soon, we came to uedi, but it was awful: trash everywhere, even in water! I decided to walk. On the way, stumbled on the Germans, who have treated themselves to dinner. Thorough so settled. They even had tables and chairs. After 15 minutes I went back, because what I saw made no impression on me. Uedi called Dishidan. Maybe during the rainy season here is beautiful, but at that moment was a drought and the stream is almost dried up. It is interesting to mountain formation - red rocks with a lot of sediment. I waited for Ali to finish the prayer. He prayed, smoked and threw a cigarette butt into the pond! Dragon tree near At night, we settled on the beach Mafrehen. We drove the Germans and set up camp near the dunes. At the shore was a big rock, which was a lot of holes. I think it was the cave. Pitch a tent at one of the dunes, I went for a walk and saw a lot of sand crabs, which are somewhere in a hurry. Arthropods were crawling all over creation, on the dune and the beach, which I later realized, was their habitat. I also saw a few birds, eels in the shallows and a few fish. No scuba gear, I was not with him, and yet so anxious to see them at close distances. The beach liked me. After dinner I went immediately to bed. Went back a little rain and the wind rose. I slept to the sound waves that rhythmically crashed against the shore. Start a paradise of material:
