... 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 ...

... site we will not make it to Kairouan before the noon closing of the Grand Mosque because today is Friday, the Islamic day of congregational prayer. Knowing that takes the pressure off us and our driver, and we can relax and enjoy the Roman site at a leisurely pace.

Arriving in Kairouan we eat lunch, then visit the famous sites in the city including the Aghlabid Basins, built in 860, the tomb of Sidi Sahab (a ...

... 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.

... two busy but completely contrasting shopping districts. Inside the old city was the North Africa we had become so familiar with in Morocco - dozens and dozens of souks lined up beside one another, all pretty much selling the same thing, and looking they pretty much struggle to sell anything judging by the amount ...

... ruins are some crumbling foundations with killer views of the Mediterranean. The ruins are located throughout the town and are completely surrounded with white homes with you guessed it, blue trim. What little I know about Roman history graduated from my brain long ago when I did the same from college so it was hard for me to fill in the blanks around the ruins. There was no sea breeze today so I just sweated my way around from site to site ...

... century Christian churches. Rolling on northwards to Tunis we reach Kairouan. Its Great Mosque is one of the oldest and largest places of prayer in the Islamic world. It is considered the fourth most important pilgrimage destination after Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem. Being Friday, we are unable to go onto the grounds of the Great Mosque so we make a photo stop to see the minaret and exterior walls. We also visit the Aghlabid Basins, a mechanical masterpiece of the ...

... he wets himself in fear he will release another terrible song. picked up some cheese and chive doodles on the way home, and out of pure boredom laced cyanide and highly sensitive TNT into each crisp creating a highly explosive, poisonous time bomb. left it under sims's car, that'll teach him to take out four cars in an attempted hijacking with his friend frazier. decided to let chris try one as a tester, as soon as it hit his duodenum i heard a rumble ...

... of nutty syrup with none of the gristly bits. Then to the Medina, the ancient walled section of the city for an in-depth explore of the twisting winding streets packed with souvenir shops, workshops, houses, Mosques and lots of screaming children. I was pleasantly surprised at how hassle free the whole place is. Being the low season I thought we would be pounced on by ...
