Ghardaia - Algeria


 Africa-Algeria-Ghardaia One of the most conservative and in fact very interesting city in the Sahara. The old town is well worth seeing with its own culture and traditions


Sorry about the old postcard but in some places you take what you can get ! Still it has not changed very much. The postmark is faint , but I love the stamps showing local food.

Algiers the most beautiful Post Office in the World


 Africa-Algeria-Algiers  This is my favourite Post Office of all the ones I have visited and that has been a lot. lol.. It is just beautiful to look at inside and out. For the last number of years it has been closed and due to open again as a "Post Office Museum" . Luckily for me I was able to visit when I was here last in 2007.


The operating  Post Office is nearly next to this building It is still majestic from the outside. Was mad busy .

Algiers - Algeria


 Africa-Algeria-Algiers
Back to Algiers and this card is showing the area known as the French Quarter. This trip I had a lot more time to appreciate the area and see the museum. Looks like the Mediterranean of Africa ! 


The Post Office it was very busy. So I ended up putting the card in the box outside.
