Tunisia

This trip to Skanes, Tunisia was very different as I was not with my beloved wife.  It felt very different and doing tours again with myself felt strange but I did meet some lovely people and seen some amazing sights!!
Starting off with a lovely hotel which had everyhting for a rainy day!! but I never spent much time in the hotel when there is a whole country to see! I started off with a 2 day trip around the main sights of Tunisia.  This included seeing El Jem, another Roman Colliseum.  Crossing 2 salt lakes which included the largest one in the whole of Africa!

Of course the best part of the trip was crossing the Sahara Desert with a camel ride, it was beautiful.  I dressed as a white arab and made it through the heat!  I went with the 4x4 jeep through the sand dunes and again made it through alive!  I seen a beautiful Oasis and stayed in a wonderful hotel.

The third tour I tried out took me to northern Tunisia, i seen some revelution trouble but no harm came to me.   I went to which seemed the rich part of Tunisia, where their was Roman baths, goverment buildings and a wonderful wee town which looked like Santorini, Greece!

In all, I had a wonderful time in Tunisia and it just gets me excited for the next trip to Marrakech, Marocco :)
