Hello Hostee,
Here are a couple of photos from inside those straw huts at Djanet between 1981 and 83. Another photo shows Linda and Rosemary en route to an oasis near to Ghardaia. Rosemary drank the sediment left overs from our President wine before leaving. Another photo shows the Viscount in Air Algerie colours. We used to stop at Tamanrasset. One night at about 3am, in the hotel, appeared at my bedroom door to stay the night with me because the waiters were using their master keys to enter the girls` rooms. It amused me to think that she felt safe in my room. And of course she was! Happy memories, Brian Edwards
