I am in Algeria and it is their Independence Day. My UK mobile is not working here for some reason but I have a local mobile which is +213 796 814 609. I am currently in Algiers but en route to Constantine.

Here is a photo I took today of the new development at Bab Ezzouar, around 5 km fromAlgiers airport. There are two hotels (Ibis and Mercure), several office HQs (Bureau de Poste, Air Algerie, Natixis, CMA CGM) and a large commercial centre (Bab Ezzouar Centre Commercial et de Loisirs). So far only the hotels are open although all of the other construction is almost complete.
