Another day in Socotra!

The next day after breakfast, we head to Dixam plateau which is famous for the Dragon's Blood Trees. Then to the beautiful Aomak Beach. This is a beautiful stretch of white sand!


The beautiful stretch of road around the island! No traffic to worry of!


Dixam Plateau

                             

A stream I can see from the plateau.


Up close Dragon's Blood Tree....you can see the dark red resin where a cut was made.

For lunch we were asked to join a visiting Emirati (friend of the owner of the Deilisha Eco Lodge) in the cave. The cave I found was an ideal place to park your car yourself and enjoy the view from this height. This has been such a wonderful experience!

One of the guys....setting up for lunch.

After lunch we head to Aomak Beach. The blue blue sea and the white sand..... matched by the blue blue sky with the white clouds.




It's such a lovely sight to see the Deserts Roses here on the rocky mountains. You see the thick brown trunks and then on top, you spy these tiny pink flowers!






Sunset on the island....end of another wonderful day!
