Extract from the Been app (see here)
Today I finally arrived in Algiers, the capital of Algeria. I say 'finally' because I have tried to visit Algeria twice before, but each time I was thwarted by circumstances, including political unrest.
Algeria was target number 179 on my Been app's 'countries and territories' list, which splits the world into a total of 266 locations. I have now been to 67% of all countries and territories on Earth.
Algeria is my 35th African country. Algeria is the largest country in Africa and the tenth largest country in the world. I expect to do a lot more African travel over the next couple of years.
In terms of UN-defined nation states, Algeria is my 150th country.
I will have more to say about Algeria in a future blog.
The End
