First taste of Africa

by ricky52 - last update: Feb 19, 2006

Everything started, but bugger all finished

Sunrise over the Salt Lakes
This was the only holiday we have taken over the Christmas period.
It was also pre VT.
Mixed emotions really about this holiday, on the one hand it was great to get away for Christmas, but on the other hand there were one or two sad tales.
I believe that Tunisia has changed a great deal since we were there, so I can only give you an account of what it was like when we visited the country.
Here Kitty, Kitty

Moggies, Moggies everywhere

No matter where we go, we seem to be adopted by our feline friends.
This little crowd was only about a half that used to hang about outside the hotel reatraunt, waiting for any scraps of food the quests would give them.
Great fun to watch.
Awesome

Plenty to see and do

During the day we found Tunisia great.
Tunisia has some great historical buildings and are well worth the visit, even if you are not the type to do such a thing.
A trip to Tunis is also worth the visit.

 I am sorry that you & your wife had a hard time in shopping area of Tunisia - maybe you should have reported the shop keep to the police then, that will send a powerful message to shop keepers.

 Youve had an interesting slant on Tunisia!-Ivenot heard any bad language,in English anyway!,the hard work id done getting to know Morocco paid off for my T trip&Id love to go back-but yes still has the rip off merchants wanting to get heaps for nothing.

 It is really disturbing to hear about the shopkeepers here. You'd think they'd get the point that you'd get more customers by being nice. We are supposed to land there for one day while on a cruise next year. Too bad.
