Algiers – Dz

Again – but this time in summer!

There is a beautiful public beach in Zeralda. It’s free, very wide, so lots of space. There are guys you can rent an umbrella from, some people sell food, and I think there’s even a shower.

And just behind the beach, there’s an almost normal bar, which could have a nice view onto the sea.. if they didn’t put those milk glass windows in the way, to hide the drinking people from the innocent general public 🙂

Algerian people – or girls who go out, drink alcohol, and would wear a bikini at the beach – don’t like public beaches. They decided we should go to this amazing private beach.. Where you have to pay to enter. For this, you get a tiny, crowded beach full of rocks. And plastic chairs to sit on. Because of all the stones, you don’t want to lie on the ground anyways. Those stones continue into the sea. So you can’t really go in there barefoot… plus, there are waves. And there could be sea urchins anywhere. So, basically, you can’t swim. It was clearly the worst beach ever 🙂

We had some drinks in some other bar.. I had the famous Albraü beer which I still cannot pronounce..
