It has been a long time since I was in North Africa, so your Tripoli page brought back some distant memories. I was not aware that you were so terrified of "masseurs" ;))

Really loved your photographs from the Tripoli Museum. As a big mythology fan, I always enjoy these statues. A fascinating page about a place I've never visited but heard about all my life.

One very important point about the Athar is that it actually has a menu, which means you do not end up with more food than you can eat and you can check your bill here against the menu. We found this the best restaurant partly for its brilliant location.

Arch of Marcus Aurelius and National Museum seem to be worth watching and visiting. Thanks Luc for the virtual tour which still lays far from Russian tourist tracks... Best regards from Moscow in our Orthodox Christmas Eve!
