A few days cycling along the Algerian coast and i arrive at the capital Algiers. After some deliberation i decide to take a rest day and explore the town a bit (aimlessly). Luck seems to be on my side as the friendly Djamel notices my lostness, strikes up conversation and proceeds to take me on a guided tour of the town. We are then joined later by his friend Wahab who continues the tour, takes me to lunch and helps me sort all my errands.
Amazing hospitality and my Algiers experience would have been so different without them both.
Here i am in the Casbah. It's the old town of Algiers, originally built by the turks and once amazing but now it's sadly crumbling after years of neglect and needs lots of attention.
