Djanet - Algeria . Sahara Desert

 Africa-Algeria-Djanet This is a postcard I could not resist as it sort of matched what I seen when there. This area is amazing and one of my highlights in Algeria . 

It was very hard to find any postcards in Djanet . This card was purchased and send from Algiers. 

Djanet - Algeria

 

Africa-Algeria-Djanet This is an Oasis city down south bordering Niger and Libya. This place is amazing and this postcard wont do it justice , but to say the local Touaregs are very charming and great guides. Stayed overnight in a tent in the desert . A magical experience sleeping and just looking up at the stars. 

On the day I was here Saturday/Sunday the Post office was closed. Got back to late and left to early from the trip to the desert. There was no post box so I left the card with the guide and crossed my fingers. Well here is the result. The card came back. Love these stamps. 

Timgad - Algeria - World Heritage Site

 Africa-Algeria-Timgad This was a Roman city around 100AD and is considered one of the finest Roman sites in existance. The area stretches almost  to as far as the eye can see. Well worth seeing and a day trip from Constantine . 

Nice surprise to find a small but modern Post Office just outside the main entrance gate to Timgad. A nice clear cancellation . 

Constantine - Algeria

 Africa-Algeria-Constantine I would call this the city of bridges. First stop on my return trip to Algeria .It is a amazing city to see and as many near attractions . I think I crossed most of the 7 bridges . Unfortunately getting a postcard here was not easy. Not much choice. So it looks like an old black and white photograph. But I will load up some photos for you to see. A great start to this trip and a very friendly welcome here. 

Algeria has an very well functioning post offices. They are all busy with what ever they do.. lol. As I was visiting many cities I bought a year pack of stamps to save me time buying stamps at each stop. How could one resist a triangle stamp ? Quite rare to have this on mail. I think in my head this is my second one. The Post office here was centre stage in the city. 

Capri - Hand painted Postcard

 Europe-Italy-Capri This is a hand painted Postcard showing the main square in Capri Town . It is full of designer stores and the standout clock tower. 

Posted in the post box outside the main post office. Stamp shows the main Piazza in Napoli . Beautiful stamp.

Capri- Italy

 Europe-Italy-Capri Took the ferry from Sorrento and spend a very enjoyable day on the island of Capri.Took the funicular rail up from the port to the middle of the island and the main town. Did not have time to discover the beaches and relaxed and had a lovely lunch . 

The Post Office was nearby . But I could not persuade them to postmark this card. You cant win them all. lol.
