The easiest and closest trip from Sétif seemed to be Djemila. So that was the plan!
There were reports on the Internet saying to just take a bus to El Eulma, and then take another bus to Djemila. All worked great. I managed to buy a ticket and get in (that part was not quite so easy) and then walked around the site on my own. There were not many people, but still too many for totally empty photos 🙂 The site felt very secure.. I felt secure.. and the rocks were secure from me, too. I didn’t take or break anything 😀
I made my first Algerian facebook friend and after visiting the ruins, we went to drink tea at the Tunisian’s place just outside the site – because he had no business cards, I got a paper with his phone number, should I ever need a room in Djemila. Then I insisted I really need to go and my new friend put me on the bus, and we said bye. A few minutes later he came back. And told the driver he needs to show me the bus to Sétif when once we arrive in El Eulma (no, that’s not necessary, I did the same way in the morning. I know already..). Everyone was looking. And the driver obviously found it necessary to ask me if I’d like to sit in the front of the bus for a better view. I really managed to find the bus on my own 😀
And I realized that my SIMcard is dead. I have no more Internet, cannot make calls or send SMS. Oh well.. Ahmed had to go to the shop with me in the evening, to find out what is wrong. From the little shop selling everything, we were sent to the mall, to an official Jezzy shop. There, my passport details were entered once more (or probably for the first time) and then the SIMcard worked perfectly for the rest of the time!
