    Timgad

    March 2, 2020 in Algeria ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    Today we left Billal and his family.
    It was a short stay.
    We were droped of at the tram station, and went to see the Mosk Abdel Kader.
    What an impressive building!
    As soon as we crossed the gates, Nika had to wear a hijab, but sadly she did not want me to take a picture.
    ..
    After this visit, we took the tram again to the city Center, and walked a second time along the kasbah, and the "elevator bridge"
    Took a picture to show you were we went down yesterday, and still impressed by this city we surely leave to early.
    I was very anxious to see Lieske again.
    We were never so far from her..
    It looked like she befriended a cat who did not want to meet us..
    ..
    On our way to Timgad, -we want to see the enormous Roman city-, we lost our chrome headlight ring. So this is the first real "scar" on Lieske's face.
    I wonder what reason this would happen for.. ;)
    ..
    We arrived. It was a bumpy ride, slow but as until now, safely. That's what counts.
    We took the Youth hostel of Timgad.
    2000Dinar for two nights.
    We want to stay one day at the Roman ruins,
    Maybe it is too long but it's a big Roman city to be discovered.
    Sad thing.. as we left Constantine, the wind was strong, and it started to rain on arrival. But it's good for Algeria, cos it is already too long, too dry.
    Hopefully for us it is sunny again tomorrow.
    For now. We locked ourselves up in our room,
    And just relax.
    ;)
