      Houston, we have a problem!

      February 15, 2020 in Algeria ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      Because Lieske is asleep above a smear well (??) In Dutch we call it a "smeerput", I grabt the opportunity to check her out. Smear as much as possible and see if all the bolds a nuts are still tight.
      And there it was..
      The rubber of the "intermediate bearing" is "gone".
      So this needs repair.
      We are going to try and order it at Mercedes Benz in Constantine. Otherwise have it shipped from Holland.
      We will see how far she will bring us before it gets critical...
      Please keep your fingers crossed!

      All good things end..

      February 15, 2020 in Algeria ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      But not yet.
      Today we enjoyed a full day as tourists in Taghit.
      Visited the prehistoric sites, oases and the K'sar on the hills.
      Climbed up a sanddune, horrible, to watch the sunset, ran it down,..wonderfull.
      Relaxed and had a nice diner in the desert.
      Now we have put our mattresses on the roof of our home, and sleep outside, listen to the concert of frogs in the oases, and howling dogs.
      Tomorrow morning we want to get up early and climb the dune again.
      Sunrise.
      Good night!

      Lieske has made us proud!

      February 14, 2020 in Algeria ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      We have arrived on the doorstep of the Sahara. And all this. Thanks to Lieske, wo never complained, and to be honest, hope she never will.
      Tonight we found a place were we intend to stay two days.
      It's a strange place. Fun part, we are in the middle of an settlement who is visted by tourist. We have found a place in the historic part of Taghit.
      Tomorrow, Walk the sand dunes, see the sunset and be the real tourists.
      All is been taken care of. Like they love to do. Plans are made for you.
      For now. We go with the flow and see were we got into.
      Taghit. Further south than this are we not going. We intended to, but as said so often,
      Too much too see....

      Goodbye Taghit !!

      February 16, 2020 in Algeria ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      We slept on the roof of the Kasr.
      We were lucky to have the opportunity to stay in this wonderfull place. However it was not suitable for tourist, but ... We are no tourists. ;)
      In the very early morning we went up that bloody sandhill again. Man what a job.
      But our own choice. We wanted to see the sunrise.
      And I am happy, grateful and proud that we did.
      Took a few snapshots of Lieske in the Desert, and took of, to a place, and on a route all are afraid of...
