He lands in Algeria, a hot, arid country where each hotel is more primitive than the last and the transportation, when there is any, is mostly by truck and camel. There are pestilential insects everywhere; the breakfast tray comes with a DDT spray can. When Kit isn't complaining about the heat or the stupidity, she is sleeping with the twit.
