Yemen

A good friend of mine is currently travelling on her own through Yemen. She visited me a few weeks ago and then went on to Muscat in Oman, and then on to Sana'a in Yemen. I remember reading about Sana'a and Yemen and the Queen of Sheba and how that city may be the oldest in the world. It's between Jericho and Sana'a as to which is the oldest city on the planet. And of course the legends of the Queen of Sheba are fascinating. How apparently you can read in the Bible how King Solomon used a metal flying machine to pop down to Yemen or Ethopia to give the Queen of Sheba a bit of a cuddle. That sort of thing sets my mind racing, incurable Romantic that I am..
