Our holiday destination was in fact Tunisia, hence the arabic Coke. The first picture is of the Gulf of Tunis taken from the ancient site of Carthage, and the second was from the terrace of a cafe in the village of Jedidi on market day. We were staying in the very touristic town of Hammamet, but it also appeared to have a lot of visitors from Tunis as well as Algeria. At night, the whole family wanders around town, slurping ice creams and weaving through the dense traffic. Tourism for Westerners is mainly limited to these areas and to all-inclusive hotels which I'm sure is fine for a while, but it must get pretty boring after two weeks: where is the fun in eating at the same restaurant day in, day out?
I have a relative there I'd never met so I gave her a call and she picked us up as well as gave us a fabulous dinner. First she gave us a tour of the local town and I was bombarding her with questions about Tunisia and was starting to really like her. Then we got to her place and discovered that she has a live in maid, no older than 16. Bizarro.
