What my blog is about

I've been visiting Algeria every year since 2004, and each time I come it seems more perplexing, more enchanting, more paradoxical and definitely more thought-provoking than ever. It's somewhere which challenges and inspires in equal measure! This year I'm there for 6 weeks (thanks to my maternity leave!), staying with my in-laws, so this will be very much an insider's view of the country, rather than a 'how-to' of planning a trip. Having said that, I should be seeing some of the more touristy (?!) places and promise to add some up-to-date accommodation/flight info when I can. I hope this blog gives you a taste of day-to-day life in a place which is just a little way off the beaten track!

Day 1 – Taking the juice

June 25th, 2011

So, after going in person to collect our extortionately-priced (£85 each for baby Leila and I!!!) visas from the consulate, I am ready for the off. This will be my first taste of travelling with a baby, and I’ve stocked up on disposable and washable nappies and a few wet-wipes as I’m not sure what type of baby products will greet me there!
