So on one campsite it was mentioned that Icht was a cool place to visit.<\/p>\n

Well we headed south for the sun and found Icht down on the boarder of Algeria, we also found a nice French run campsite full of overlanders and decided to use it for WiFi and showers and we also found\u2026. Well not very much else, just a very quiet and serene location, however sometimes things do work out .in the end<\/p>\n

On the wall of the campsite were some interesting places to visit locally, one was Amtoudi , a grain store set like a castle on a big hill, so off we went. On the way we passed a sign for rock carvings so in we popped ,it was a few KM off the tarmac down a piste to a very neat museum building and some nice locals living at the rear of the very modern toilet block, strange what there is in the desert down here<\/p>\n

\"Do<\/a>
Do you like what I have done with my tool ?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Some<\/a>
Some ancient vandals mutilated the lovely rocks 10,000 years ago.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The rock carvings \u00a0were dated from 10,000 years\u00a0ago and were interesting there were also ritual female burial mounds, but the best bit was the local guide told us of a nice track to Amtoudi, result!! It cut the corner and came out just before the campsite with all the plastics on it,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The canyon beside Amtoudi was cut in the rocks was impressive as was the climb up the mountain to see the grain store.<\/p>\n

Did we or didn’t we go up there?<\/p>\n

\"Amtoudi<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thought for today<\/strong> !, when does graffiti turn into art?<\/p>\n

how is it that a sprawled spray-tin paint job on a tram isn’t art but a Banksy is.?<\/p>\n

a scratched horse on a rock in the desert is priceless ancient artefact and national treasure , the one did today is just vandalism.<\/p>\n
