I visited VSO teachers Thomas and Fliss in Hadida, 16K south of Decemhare along a dirt road. The village is situated in spectacular mountainous countryside and is an hour by bike along a dirt road.

I found Fliss in her mud palace, they are living in an ethnic hidmo with mud walls and thatch roof, really back to basics.

Life down there is simple, most of the weekend being spent gazing at the fantastic view and chilling with the Eritrean teachers Abraham and Biniam doing their national service. I did manage to get a 'tune' out of the Krar - under Biniam's expert tuition!
