Wow Oryx that is awesome you are going to berbera, what are you doing there? remember there is a US interrogation jail in berbera.

I guess you dont need visa to go around since the place is classified part of failed state but anyway be safe, that part of the world is very dangerous for foreigners.

sorry for hijacking :)
