Road trips, wrong turns, and other shenanigans.

Over the last few days I've been hiking, sleeping in tents and cars,complaining,swimming in rivers, complaining, making new friends, and funny enough not taking that many photos documenting my events. I did however take a few which will show more or less the beauty and wonder of Algeria.  Its completely off the map, and I do mean off the map....we couldn't even find it on our Irish GPS. This has been the first time I've been camping after who knows how many years. 

I cannot begin to explain how wonderful it felt to be off the map, and not know what the time or date was, to not be able to make contact with anyone from the outside world, to just get lost in the beauty that surrounded us. I am pleased to say that I've learnt a couple of things while camping. Firstly I've learnt that I'm too fat and undisciplined to go hiking, or climbing, or walking for that matter.. I've learnt that camp fires really do bring people together and you don't need reception to connect with the people around you, and I've spent a lot of time with a few strange people I'm happy to call friends.
