First Post Covid Trip to Algeria: (11) Final Day

 My last day in Tizi Ouzou was spent recovering from a head cold i caught from all the people around me who were sniffling and sneezing. It was a nasty bug that made me nervous about my scheduled return flight the next day. In the afternoon, my nephew returned from Bejaia and asked me if i wanted to go with him to Tizi Ouzou and take the newly added téléphérique or aerial cablecar and then go for a hike in baloua high above Tizi Ouzou. Off course, i said YES to his invitation so we were off to Tizi Ouzou. We first parked our car near à téléphérique stop then went on to buy tickets and we were off. We had a smooth ride up and down the same route. I was happy to see Tizi Ouzou add another means of transportation around town. I hope this will grow in popularity and new lines will be added in the future. 

After the téléphérique experience we went to Redjaouna,  high above Tizi Ouzou, to enjoy some views of the valley below. When we got there, the views were indeed awesome. We took many pictures from various locations, it was breathtaking !! We then went inside the religious site where Sidi Baloua once prayed and lived. He is buried on the grounds of his worship place and people come in large numbers to visit this site and ask for blessings.

Once this visit over, we headed home to rest.. the vacation is over!!!
