Hot, sunny day… At 9 am I was already walking with my backpack to the bus station on Skikda. – No big buses to Constantine! You have a choice of Toyota minibus or yellow shared taxi. Yellow taxi! I paid 300 dinars for slightly more then 100 kms. Most of the route was on the highway with tunnels… At the destination I asked the driver to leave me at the GARE (railway station). In the station building they make me happy: Yes! The train to Jijel on the coast is departing every day at 4 pm. Lucky me! This will be next stage of my journey!
Constantine is famous for the 100 meters deep canyon. It cuts the city by half. In the old part of the city I found lovely hostel “Dortoir 25” where you can have a clean room with bath and breakfast for just 20 euro (exchanged on a free market). 🙂
They speak English here!
