Borj Dhiafa Sfax

... the elegant Le Mediterranee restaurant in Port El Kantaoui, with a several-course meal which delights, but puts us behind schedule. We opt to omit our visit to Monastir, another coastal city, so as not to arrive past closing at the Roman coliseum of El Djem. We clamber around the various levels of this impressive edifice in the light of the ...

... yankee ho ovviamente finto di sapere tutto). Quello che siamo andati a vedere noi, Ksar Hallouf appunto, è splendido, semi restaurato e attualmente sede di un ostello (un filo spertano forse, ma dev'essere uno spettacolo dormire li). Le foto parlano da sole credo...
Per la serata invece abbiamo optato per le isole Kerkennah, posto da turismo locale, assolutamente tranquillo e bellissimo. Se siamo fortunati domani ci scappa anche un bagnetto!

... them. Many of you might be thinking these were old mattresses, wrong, these were new ones. Someone must have got a huge back hander for this purchase. We could only sleep by laying all of the blankets in the room plus extras on the beds and sleeping in our inner liners from the sleeping bags. Kind of funny the next day......

This full day started with a stop and tour of Hammamet; situated on a beautiful bay facing the Mediterranean Sea. The 15th century fortress was in very good condition, and we seemed to be the only visitors early on this Sunday morning. Later we passed through several smaller towns before arriving at Sousse, the third largest city in Tunisia. With a beatiful large Medina (walled center city) and Souk (market), it was a shopper's paradise. Great ...

... with his private guide who welcomes us to Tunisia and talks with several of us about gay life in Tunisia. He highly recommends an overnight stay in Sousse for our next visit. We are a bit behind schedule at this point, so we just do a driving panoramic tour of Monastir, where the main highlight is the mausoleum of the first president of Tunisia and the nearby ribat. I grab a few photos from the bus window and wish we had more time. The next stop is the ...

... station, where after just a short wait, we got a lift all the way to Sfax, with no transfer. Wonderful! I had time to buy coffee, juice and biscuits while we waited for the other passengers. By the time we were in the queue for the ferry, we were already hungry for some lunch, and I nipped out and got a take-away of really good sandwiches which we were allowed to eat in the car. The journey was rather hairy, with several near misses as it seemed ...

... scene from The Life Of Brian. "I want to be known as Loretta. It is my right as a woman, blah, blah, blah"!!! Then I went down and took centre stage, whilst Lucy became one of the 30000 watching me. The accoustics are amazing, so I did what I had come here to do. I gave everyone there, a rendition of The Holy Grail by the Hunters and Collectors. People were cheering, but I only gave the one number, and then moved on. We went down into the dungeons where they use to hold the ...

Once through customs, Lucy spoke to the tourist information about getting to Sfax. A woman said there was a train leaving at 14:00 and it would take four hours. She said it would take the same amount of time to get there by louage, but the train was more comfortable. Having travelled by both forms of transport previously, we said **** that to the train, louage is the only way to fly !!! After leaving the aiport, we found our man who would take us to the Louage Gare. As ...

... that it would take 4 hours. But we knew that we would't get a seat and that everyone would be chaining on the ciggers and that we'd possibly die of asphixiation so it would be the louage. It's luxury compared to the mini vans of Pakistan and the grande taxis of Morocco. One person in each seat and speeding as fast as the ******* would take us. We only slowed for the many police check points, but as he had us whities in the rear we got ...

Border check. When I get to the airport I get stopped because I had bought some knifes. Take some longer time to get through. Next day in Sweden I am sick, I did what you are not to do, eat fruit that just somebody are selling. But it was so good.
