Day 10 - Tunisia, take 2


On our second lap of the meditteranean our first stop was Tunisia again, and this time we decided not to get off. Tunisia had been interesting to do once, but was quite disappointing, in that it has obviously taken a lot of the worst parts of modernisation, and hasn't put enough effort in preserving the unique parts of their own culture and heritage.
Unfortunately because it has taken me so long to write this, I can't remember particularly what we did on this day. I know that there were always activities onboard, like magic acts, trapeze, kids discos, etc, and that we did a lot of these. By the looks of the photos it seems as though we spent much of the day in the dining room! We also went to one of the bars on this day. I think it was called the Kasbah. Drinks weren't included in the price of the cruise, so we stayed away from them, and this is the only time we went to one of the bars, but they had funky little curtained off nooks with cool lights and the boys really enjoyed the novelty. It was also nice to be on the ship on a day that it was in port as it was much quieter than the days at sea.
