I am writing this completely out of sequence.
On the 30 some kilometres between Hassi Messaoud and Gardhaia we mostly crossed the desert, two small towns and the desert.
in the middle of the flat desert you get this road sign at regular intervals and this is because the camels do come on the road...you have to wonder why in this big old desert they would end up on the road!
I even saw a bloated dead camel on the side of the road....sorry no picture!
