We left our little home at Juanita,s and travelled around southern Tunisia. There is very little English here and we are surviving on what I can remember from French 12, so yes I am cursing myself for not studying harder.
We saw a lot of sights from star wars movies which also happen to be national hisoric sites as well, I was just tring to pretend I was in Star Wars, so imagine my delight!
Now we are on a little island on the east coast of Tunisa called Djerba, We have discovered that if you stay in a cheap hotel and then visit the all-inclusives, they have no idea. We have also discovered other tourists after being almost totally alone for the first weeks. There is something comforting about them actually, although they are mostly older French tourists. The exciting part is we have finally found a hotel that will serve us beer! Who knew it would be so difficult __ insert question mark if I could find it on this computer__ Tunisia actually makes great beer but no one from here will drink it, accept a few that sneak into the tourist hotels.
The people here have been amazing and are so friendly and welcoming! We have been giving ourselves a break this morning from the sun but it time to sneak back into a resort, thinking about using the pool today...
Will try to up load photos soon, but it is hard enough trying to figure out this keyboard which is all Arabic and French.

Whole stuffed camel is claimed to be a traditional Bedouin wedding dish, served at the weddings of sheikhs and of their family members. Like turducken, which is a recipe consisting of birds stuffed with birds and which has become popular in North America, a whole stuffed camel is a culinary delicacy composed of a medium-sized camel stuffed with a sheep or a lamb stuffed with other ingredients.
ReplyDeleteSorry cybrnetic-tiger, you heard wrong. Most of my friends in Tunisia are bedouins - First, Bedouins dont eat camel - as they are traditionally "camel men", they love them too much (although Berbers and other Tunisians often do). I have lived in Tunisia 2 years and have never heard of anyone eating something like this... Sorry... Juanita
ReplyDeleteI stand corrected!!! I just found out that, although Tunisian bedouins dont eat camel meat, bedouins from other countries actually do!!! So, cybrnetic-tiger - you may be right!!!
