Tunis, Tunisia hammametagencev

... carved in stone by their grieving families.

We enjoy one more buffet dinner tonight at our hotel before visiting the sidewalk cafes one last time to enjoy watching the nighttime crowds on the main avenue in front of the hotel. One other client and I check out of the hotel at midnight tonight, and head to the airport to catch our Lufthansa flight back to Frankfurt, departing at 2:30am!

We say goodbye to one tour member this morning. At 10am several of us go with the guide into the medina again. Two of us break away to visit a local hammam. This is an experience more like the one in Morocco, with hard skin scraping and back cracking.

I shop for birthday gifts for one of our tour members, then return to the hotel to get awards and tips organized. The party begins at six ...

... to peer in and get a sense of the size of the structure and how the people attend the event.

Our guide has mercifully spared us the daily shopping stops that others typically insert (unasked) into the schedule. Today we indulge him in one visit to a carpet shop. The merchants reveal their wares with gusto, but only a few are seriously interested in purchasing something. While they shop, most of us wander through ...

... lunch overlooking the bay of Tunis.

Our final stop is the Bardo Museum, which houses some of the most amazing mosaic works discovered throughout Tunisia as well as statuary and other art objects. After visiting the museum our guide walks through the medina of Tunis with us, showing us its many markets on our way back to the hotel. We dine at the hotel tonight, and prepare for an early start in the morning.

... br>Turns out the airport is far from the city so no such luck. I did not make it through security fast enough to make my flight so I got to wait three more hours in the airport waiting to go to Tunis. The Air France flight was much better. More room and a nicer staff was a great change from Delta. I guess the missing Air France flight over the Atlantic was just bad luck. But I guess if we had gone done the Mediterranean is a much smaller place to look for survivors ...

... notes, and their change is divided into a thousand millimes instead of a hundred cents. I've got a nice big room and I've even got central heat. But I ain't got Internet, and Tunisia is just not really working for me for some reason. Maybe it's the weather, or maybe just the large ratio of tourists to locals, always a recipe for dissatisfaction for me. That's the good part about the slow season, but maybe it's not good enough. Next stop is Malta. Stay tuned.

... three inshallah. Later on when I saw that I could get to Sidi Bou Said on the coast as well as Carthage and back for about $2 on the TGM train I got really excited. Having done my research and asking the right questions (remember Sydney?) I set off for the main train station to catch the TGM up the coast. TGM trains out of Tunis do in fact leave from the main station I found out but just not my Line A. The only one in all of Tunis and I had gone ...

... hair. We collide with Jo in Titanic like fashion. I scream, so does Dan and i'm pretty sure Lauren does as well but it's hard to tell as the trunk flies open and she proceeds to fly out the car and roll down the A30 at a fantastic speed. I check to see if Jo is ok. But to my despare she is not. She has a ruptured right ventricle near the right aortic valve. I have to use any equipment I have available to perform and emergency triple gastro bypass heart ...
