About My Travels (2): Algeria: Ergs (5 of 5)
In my last post, I was describing my visit to an ‘erg’ – the naturally occurring seas of sand which sometimes appear in desert countries. Here’s the second (and last) part of this description – and the final entry in this ‘Algeria’ series of posts.

About My Travels (2): Algeria: the Water in an Oasis (3 of 5)
As I said in the last post, oases are magical sorts of places, with their existence being so seemingly impossible. But this leads naturally to the question: ‘Why are they possible?’, or more specifically, ‘Where does that water come from?’ Well, it doesn’t come from the sky – at least, not directly. It comes from the ground. Here is the relevant passage from my book – but this is quite a technical passage, giving some science, so there are many difficult words.

About My Travels (2): Algeria (1 of 5)
After all the hustlers in Morocco, Algeria was a wonderful change.

In Algeria, I was once again just a nameless face in the crowd, ignored by everyone – which is exactly what I wanted to be.
