The majority of the group enjoys a full-day excursion to the ancient Roman city of Dougga today. This is a first for me, as we didn't include Dougga last year. We head southwest out of Tunis, through fertile lands with grape vineyards and olive groves, glimpsing the occasional jagged peak in the distance northwards.

Our first stop is at the fascinating Andalusian Muslim town called ...

... then we leave for our Farewell Dinner at the Dar Bel Haj – another famous restaurant in the medina. It is fantastic to walk the twisting lanes of a medina that is bustling in the daytime and almost totally deserted at night.

The tour is now officially concluded. Two members leave tomorrow while the rest of us make an optional excursion to the Roman site called Dougga. Stay tuned!

... Medina of Kairouan.

We hit the road again, and make it to Tunis exactly at 7pm. We bid farewell to one of our traveling companions tonight who must leave tomorrow, then go to the Café de Paris to sit on the sidewalk and watch the people. It isn’t long before we are surrounded by gorgeous young men who are giving us the beautiful Tunisian eyes. It has been a long day, but one which I consider a complete success!

Our first visit today is to the dramatic ruins of Carthage. We visit the remains of the Punic city, the hilltop museum and cathedral, and the elaborate Roman baths by the sea (in the shadow of the Presidential Palace).

Next stop the Mediterranean-style village of Sidi Bou Said, with its bright white buildings with blue doors and shutters. We visit a house of a famous lawyer which is now a museum, then ...

Tunis is a nice city that can be dirty in places buts its very pretty for the most part. The first few days we went to class and toured mostly and went back to the hotel. We went out one night but not much happened. The Carthage ruins are pretty interesting but are more appreciated by those with interests in history. The hotel was fun, a few people here with me are in the corps so we have things to relate to.

... the wrong place. So much for asking the right questions, right? That's ok though because I quickly found out you can take the Line 1 green tram from the train station right to the TGM stop where Line A should start. I bought my ticket and waited where I thought Line 1 should intersect my travel plans and the platform got more and more crowded as more and more shiny new trains marked Line 1 stopped, emptied out and left with no one on board. I ...

... until an hour later, when my stomach demanded that I call to determine the status of the order. They explain that it was misdelivered. I believe they should have called me to apologize for the mistake and offer to send me another order, but I guess because my client signed for the order they figured it got to the intended person. I do eventually get fed! We gather for a cocktail party at 5:30pm, during which time we ...

... She loses alot of blood but I get the job done even if it means I had to replace her heart with a bottle of fruit shoot. A barber shop quatet witnesses the accident. I can't risk them talking to the Old Bill. With the help of my old friend ketamin I make sure the only note they'll b singing is in the key of C. As in C you in hell you crew cut loving Butt sluts. I recover Lauren from a nearby bush where she had spent most of the afternoon trapped ...

... port - I have to make my way across the causeway into Tunis - a ride of 10Km or so in the dark. Still, after successfully negotiating the streets of Palermo at rush hour, I'm sure its nothing I can't handle. When retrieving my bike from the hold I bumped into another of those rare species, a cycle tourer. Victor is Swedish, in his late teens he had finished school ...
