After visiting the French cemetery at Takrouna, we drove up the steep narrow roads to the top of the hill. The old village is well worth the trip even if it's only for the amazing views of the local countryside.

We wandered around the streets at the top, steering clear of the occasional donkey, and ended up at the Roche Bleu cafe at the summit. It was wonderful up there and, although there's not really that much to see, we are pleased we made the effort. The cafe was full of bikers but they were quite well behaved!!!!

On our way back to Hammamet we stopped for lunch at one of the roadside barbecue restaurants. It was really nice but they tried to rip us off. It was very expensive even after we got 25%!k(MISSING)nocked off our bill by arguing vociferously with them!
