Aaaaaaafrica!

I will be hopping in the Tardis soon to head back east towards home, but on the way I have had an exciting few days taking a detour to the sands of the Sahara desert in Tunisia. Sand to see for miles, salt plains, olive trees, sand, date palms, more than one oasis (what is the plural for that anyway- oasiss, oases, oasis's?????), naturals springs and waterfalls, a ride on a camel, markets, shisha pipes, apple tea, sand, mint tea, roman ruins, old berber towns, old WW2 tanks and jeeps left behind. Did I mention lots of sand, fantastic food, some friendly locals who offered Julie lots of camels for me to stay, plus a local guide who I think knew absolutely everything about the country, it was amazing!!! Hope ya like the fotos!

Was told I may find a date or three, I was surprised, koalas in Africa!! Alas, only the kind that grow on a palm.

Also on offer was to swap Godfrey for this little salamander. Considered, but in the end a koala is a much lower maintenance travelling companion.
