    How far is it?

    February 16, 2020 in Algeria ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Not so far.
    As we took of this morning from El Bnoud, our guardian Karim found us at the "pitstop" were we washed and used the toilets.
    He wished us u good journey, and as we left, we got filmed again. Getting used to that.
    Our plan is to get half the way up to Tissimsilt.
    The whole ride is to much for us.
    So I started slow, 70km/h, Lieske hummed like a summer bumblebee...
    We entered the village of El Abiodh Sidi Cheikh. No pavement. Only holes and lots of it. But a very busy town and quite big. Bought some bread.
    On our way on, I was looking for a place to stop and eat. And found a cemetery for the victims of the war of independence.
    That's our stop!
    Had a nice picnic, and checked out by the police again.
    The trees are coming back. So we are definitely going into the right direction, although I miss the Sahara.

    We stopped at El Bayadh. Had a strange, risky diner and sleep early.
    Sometimes it is just no more than that.
    Sleep well, my friends!
