12 Days in Tunisia Being a small country and not particularly famous for anything I wasn't that bothered about exploring Tunisia in great depth. For this reason Me and Steph opted for a cheap 12 day package holiday (my first package deal in about 14 years) so we could visit without breaking the bank and I could move a step closer to completing my corn flake mission.

TUNISIA
I was in Ethiopia during the Arab Spring uprising in Tunisia. Do you recommend Tunisia as a destination? Definitely an impressive Cornflake moment in your photo.

Visiting Tunisia
Hi Dave I liked Tunisia but it is not one of my favourite destinations. I would recommend travelling to any country but there are many more I would recommend before Tunisia. Having seen that you have travelled off the beaten track I would suggest Morocco or Egypt first. Also depends on the amount of time you spend there and what you're in to. Egypt my friend is a must for any traveller

Tunisia looks like my sort of place; another destination to add to my wish list.
