Nice to see Tunisia as it looked then. It may not be so nice any longer with all the package tours going there, also from Poland.

30 years is quite some time. Interesting to see what remains of Carthago. I remember my latin teacher telling about that roman senate that kept repeating at every meeting: "Ceterum censeo ..." (and I say it once more) "Carthago must be destroyed"
