We had a stroke of luck in Tataouine. As we were searching for a taxi to take us to the bus station, we met a taxi driver from the island of Djerba, our next destination, and he agreed to take us there for the same price as the bus or louage. That meant a three hour journey in a luxurious 9 seat taxi with no fellow passengers save the waifs and strays he picked up along the way for a few kilometres here and there. Djerba is an island off the South East coast of Tunisia. To get there you have two options: one is to take a short ferry over the water, the other is to go many miles out of your way to drive over a causeway left over from Roman days.

Before I begin this blog entry I'd like blame any spelling/punctuation errors on the fact that I'm using an Arabic/French keyboard and consequentally many of the keys are in different locations to the 'usual'! I'm writing this from hot Tunisia. All the locals here still consider the weather to be quite cold and so many are walking aroung with coats and fleeces on! I, however, have already brought out the sunglasses, sun cream and mosquito spray. After my last blog entry from Genoa I headed to a village called Nervi. Put simply, it was gorgeous. Despite the chill, the sun was shining and the seafront promenade was populated by local families on afternoon strolls. I got stuck into an ice-cream whilst watching the world go by and for the first time, as I gazed across the ... read more

Siguiendo con la canción de este año del colegio de Pedro, “it’s a small world after all” (es un mundo pequeño después de todo), podemos dar fé que es cierto. Cuando era chico pasé la mitad de mis fines de semana en la casa de mis abuelos en Longchamps. Muchos de esos fines de semana me iba a jugar con Martín y Andrés, que son los hijos de Jorge e Iris, la prima de mi papá. Se ve que la pasaba muy bien, porque todavía tengo muchos recuerdos visuales de esos días en el fondo de la casa de los tíos Betty y Oscar (sus abuelos), de la pelopincho de lona, de cuando se mudaron a la casa nueva… El tiempo fue pasando, cada uno creciendo y nos perdimos un poco de vista, aunque cada tanto ... read more

Hi, I'm Giulia, a early 21-years-old girl of Turin, Italy. Last summer, my boyfriend and I, went to Tunisia for a summer holiday. We stayed there the second week of September 2008. We stayed in a all inclusive village of alpitur and we enjoyed ourselves so much!!! The equipe of animation was so nice, because they left the holidaymakers in peace without insist to join at their activities. The village was very very very... wonderful! It's looks like a small paradise for us: there were 2 swimming pool, one cover and one's not. The sea was beautifil all the time we stayed there luckily. In the morning It was so smooth (this is perfect for me beacause I don't swim very well :)) and in the afternoon it was a little restless but always good! In ... read more
