Tunesia Part 5 - Oasis

The next day was raining and this the hole day. Could you image to have so much rain in the dessert? First we went to Chott El Djerid which is a hugh salt lake and than to an amazing and pretty Oasis "Nefla" close to the Algerian boarder.

Tunesia Part 4 - Camel Riding

Still Matmata -where they filmed part of "Star Wars"

 Camel riding in Douz a Oasis in the dessert of south west Tunesia. Exciting. My first time on a camel. When you sit on them and they stand up it's a littlebit like a on mini rollercoaster - funny.

Camel (or better Dromedar) Parking

 I hope you all had a nice weekend.

Tunesia Part 3

From Sahel Zone were it's quite green with Olive Trees everywhere we continued to Dahar Desert Zone to Matmata a moonspacy landscape with underground home (like australian dugouts in Cooper Pedy).
But first of all, I like to show you how buy your meat hanging outside from the ceiling of "butcher".

2 Day Round Trip in Tunesia

Last weekend we started a 2 days bustrip more or less to half of Tunesia, which meant that we had to stay long long time in the bus......exhausting, but with interesting things to see.  Our first stop was El Djem wich is one of the worlds largest Colosseum of Roman Empire. Tunesia was in the early days conquered by  Romans,  so a lot of citys have a roman and an arabian name today.     

Australia?

No, still Africa.

Nice room I discovered today: berlin family
