Friday, 9 Feb. Road is new and mostly bump-free. Several police checkpoints. Frequent old (30 years?) watchtowers along the way. Lots of barren, but green landscape.

Lunch was soup and grilled chicken. I passed on the chicken.

The Djemila ruins are huge. Because of my sore leg I covered only a small portion. Maddening. A nice small museum had relocated mosaics.

The Constantine Hotel is a step up in hospitality. Nice view of two bridges, one old, one new. The rest of the view is old buildings and trash. An immense number of Satellite dishes on all the buildings.

Dinner included shish kabobs, with beef! Also tried couscous, made up of semolina, veggies, and beef. The beef was excellent.
