Purchase Dissei Island, Dahlak archipelago (Eritrea)

Part of Eritrea's attractions lie in its position on the Red Sea. The Dahlak Archipelago is the perfect way to explore Eritrea's Red Sea beauty.
At the end of the afternoon, we anchored off Dissei island. We had dinner on the boat, and then some of us slept on the boat itself, while others put their mattresses on the beach. This was a great bay for a morning swim, before we set out on our way to Shumma island. We passed various other islands, one of them curiously inhabitated by one lonely ostrich. We did some diving and snorkelling on the way, and arrived at Shumma early in the afternoon. There was time for some water activities, exploration of the island, and in the evening we barbecued the fish caught by the brave fishermen on the boat. We gave some water to the only inhabitant of the island, an old men, and wondered how it must be to live on this remote island depending for water on sporadic rainfall and passers-by.
