Day 3 - Hargeisa (10km on foot & 15km bike ride)

I headed out again on foot to explore more of Hargeisa and made my way over to Jigjiga Yar Road where I had my best meal yet since arriving in Somaliland at the Ethiopia Restaurant, it was called 'cocktail' on the menu, and was very delicious. With a full belly I headed back to my hotel, completing a loop of 10km.

Back at my hotel I relaxed before one of my new cycling friends picked me up at 2:30pm to take me a few km's out of town to his house to meet with the other guys we were riding with. It was so nice to see some of the young guys wearing my cycling club team top (I'd brought a few over from the UK as a gift). The ride was great with some off road stuff as well, we had a lead car with a video creator in front of us making sure all the best moments were captured! At the end of the ride, we all took a load of photographs and I promised to keep in touch as I suggested it would be great to ride again when I return to Hargeisa before flying home next week.
