Me and Pete took a ride by pickup, lorry and bus to Agordat in the Western lowlands - low and hot. We went to visit Tabby, but arrived to find he'd chosen this weekend to visit Asmara. What were the chances of that?! Still Akordat was a beautiful place, surround by desert and mountains. We were shown round by an Eritrean kid - Frem, who invited us to take Sewa (Eritrean homebrew) and dinner with his family. The next day we took a stroll to the river (a big beach at this time of year - guess the tide's out) saw the local wooden huts and played footy with some kids in the sand.
