Next Cruise Scrap Hobby Charter will be my fourth cruise! Every year we have crossed several routes and itineraries, but it may be that those already with us you can find steps that it has done in previous editions or on trips of different types.
The hours available for the outputs never allow to see everything that offers a step is necessary to make a choice on things to see and how the visit. For some stages such as recommend the use of a guide and organized tour, but other destinations can be addressed by hiring a taxi just might share with family and friends.
Based on my previous experience I want to tell something about the stages of this year, in order to entice them to leave with us and introduce better landscapes, folklore and cultural attractions that await you during your trip. Today we speak of
Tunis and show you what I have visited in the cruise stage of 2009.
We arrived early morning at the port of La Goulette and immediately I was struck by the white of the buildings, the beaches and the East, we are in Tunisia!
off the boat and are on the quay to greet the Bedouins with their camels, which are suitable for the usual photos.
Tunis appears to our eyes with a double role: the modern city and the Arab (the to Medina).
The first crossed by long avenues, with modern shops, large hotels and luxury buildings, and the second, closed by the ancient walls of the fortifications, allows visitors to walk in the narrow alleys of little shops to explore.
Unfortunately, the duration of our stage I requires a choice and then decide to visit the picturesque village of Sid Bou Said and follow the route to the discovery of archaeological remains Carthage.
Sidi Bou Said, 17 km from Tunis is a country with distinctive white and blue colors dominating.
The landscape here is highly reminiscent of the atmosphere of the countries of the Greek islands, the architecture of houses painted in pastel blue and white, flowers and plants that sprout from tiny gardens wedged between walls whitewashed. It 's a pleasure to stroll through its narrow streets and stop to drink a mint tea in a bar that overlook the main square overlooking the sea, just above the small sandy beach in the country.
Here the craft is flourishing and distinctive and we could not help but visit the shops and make small purchases!
Our tour then proceeds with the view of the ruins of Carthage The city, founded as a Phoenician trading base, first passed in to Roman rule and then under the dominion of the Arabs who destroyed who used the ruins to build near Tunis.
The most scenic area, however, going down to the sea, consists of the monumental ruins of the Baths of Antoninus Pius , a major archaeological park planted with trees, which gives way to a plateau with the remains of the Baths place just below the existing building Tunisian president (you can see in the picture the white wall that acts as a fence of the building with armed guards at the slits).
Our ship in port waiting for us ...
.. and unfortunately I could not see the city, the market of Medina and the beaches of Tunisia ... but fortunately coming back for the next cruise I will have the opportunity to fill the gap.
Tunis will not be our only stop in Tunisia ... visit also Gabes, located in the gulf before the island of Djerba.
Well, I hope I have given some indication as to plan your trip.
We will be in Tunis on Thursday April 21 and get down to the ground from 8.00 to 14.00; in the afternoon after a little nap would expect of a scrapbooking classes.
