Tunisia – Toward the Sahara

October 24, 2022 Have fallen way behind in posting due to no internet for several nights, the app I use to write and post needs to be connected to the internet to work, then too much going on so no time to work on posts. It is going to take some time to catch up.

The pool at the hotel we were staying at was more like a lake than a pool. It was a resort hotel and we were as far from the lobby as one could get. I’ll just say that in no way was it the type of hotel that Linda and I like to stay at and let it go at that.

In this part of Tunisia the way property lines are demarcated is with a raised line of soil. You can see the soil lines on three sides of this small field.

We seldom see bikes as most people either walk or use motorbikes or cars.

Typical public Tunisian restroom. Three of the four stall were out of order.

Doesn’t matter how poor the condition of it is, they want you to pay to use it.

Many of the places we have visited have signs like this.

Stand clear when the ferry arrives .

Our buss driving onto the ferry.

Black market gas station. These are very common away from the larger cities and closer to the border with Libya.

Another one, this time with propane.

You seemingly can buy almost anything alongside the road.

More meat going on the grill.

Ruins of a mountainside village mostly destroyed by flood water pouring down the mountainside a number of years ago.

Rock walls cannot withstand the force of water pouring down the mountainside. Many people were killed during that horrendous flooding.

Guess what movie had scenes filmed near here.

In this are the people often live under ground.

The actors stayed at this hotel during the filming.

They’ve labeled the rooms they stayed in.

They used this room to plan some of the days filming.

This was the night we were staying in the Sahara, an getting to the camp was not a smooth ride,

Ripples

The shadows point the way to our tent.

The sand is extremely fine.

Sunset

Bread baked directly in the coals.

Lamb cooked to perfection. Up above there were seemingly millions of stars in the night sky. It was a great experience.
