42. What Happens in Algiers, Stays in Algiers

This is a circumstance in which, after the exhausting, frustrating extensions that came from flight and luggage delays, all you might want is to get to your destination and go to sleep. But in this state of tiredness, you are often less alert, and that time of night would make you a good target for predators.

Despite the frustrations, props to Algiers border control for keeping an eye on this lone traveler until they made sure she had a way to get to her hotel. It would likely have only added more stress and danger if they hadn’t in the circumstances. Late-night flights are the worst.
