Algiers to Tunis overland

Who wants to join me. Once things are back to normal and maybe
late autumn to winter. Fly into Algiers. Use Algiers as a base
to explore. Would love to go to Oran but it is heading in wrong
direction. Then on To Setif, Constantine and Annaba by bus. From
there it is a train to Tunis. Beach holiday at the end for a
week on Tunisian coast.
Visa needed for Algeria but Tunis is easy and land border is
open. Just a few Islamic raiders here and there but Algerian
military largely control coast. Lots of old French colonial
buildings to stay in. Very few low class Stew people until you
get to Tunisia
Joe and Ducky? You would make great travel companions. We could
even hire a car and get Joe some guns.

Sounds like a fun trip.
On a different note, Ibrahim is my buddy I work with teaching
the army and he's from Morocco.
He knows I was into treasure hunting in the past.
He said his brother in law is into something they do there,
where you buy old, handrawn maps that you can get from...various
sources..like from guys in bars, in the souks, relatives etc.
They show where families would bury the family possessions in
the past.
You're really not supposed to do it, but no one really cares, as
it's more like metal detecting, with a map.
He says his BIL is totally into it, goes out every weekend,
mostly at night with flashlights on the outskirts of little
town, abandoned villages, even in strange place in the mountains
looking in caves.
Brahim says he's found some jewelry he's sold, as I guess
there's a thriving market and people there are crazy about it,
sort of liek a fad or something right now in the eastern part of
the country.
A lot of time when you get to where the map shows to dig there
will already be a hole, so he thinks there's something to it.
I guess especially Jews had a tendency to bury valuables there.

I am hoping Algeria is not there thing and fuckwit tourists like
Flora and Paddox are nowhere to be seen. How would they survive
without an English language guide book? They need to be told
where to go by deadbeat writers who can barely scrape a living
together after Wheeler destroyed travel writing.

Oh no, I draw the line at Flobster.
He'd want to take his bicycle and would be talking for hours
every day about the new titanium tire pump that weights 1.3
kilos and folds into a tent peg.
Then he'd have to make 35 posts before lunch about some zambosa
he ate with coconut curry and how it fit the 'total experience'
he had with the locals.
He is a decent human being, but he would drive me nuts to be
around very much.

That is most Stewbies. Wanting to be in bed before 9pm and
frowning upon me running around town with whores.
Posing for selfies with real authentic and impoverished local
hill people, camel treks and cookery classes.
Flobster when he toured the UK..... A tour of misery. Cycling in
the UK is hell. Far too many cars and motorists loathe cyclists.
His route took him to obscure cycling places in rural shit
holes. The man travels across the globe to live a miserable
existence peddling to small bland towns.

Are those the hill people raped by Harry Flashman or who have
shagged Mother Teresa Paddox?

There are a lot of videos on the Daily Mail of bicyclists being
beaten up on/beating up on motorists.
It seem like it is a bit of a "thing" in England it looks like.
Plus the whole getting run over by a 19 year old girl texting on
her cell phone makes it look like a risky proposition to me.
I'd most likely take the subway, train, taxi or maybe rent a car
if I ever tour England.
Safer and more comfortable.
