It's funny when you think about it, but sometimes you can get the most out of places and trips you would not think of.
Take Tunisia for example.
All the time I kept forgeting that I was in Africa, after about 1 day I felt I had been there for a long time - just felt normal really.
Maybe it is the fact that I did and saw so many things that I have never done before. How many people can say that riding through the Sahara Desert on the back of a camel is a normal everyday thing, or visiting 2000 year old ruins. Or watching the sunset and hearing the Islamic Call to Prayer from the many Mosques, which was quite nice to hear.
So big deal - I went on a package tour, what's wrong with that. A holiday is what you make it, and I know that I enjoyed myself and so did all the people I met there.
