When I return to Tunesia (and I sure will) i'll spend more time: - in the Atlas mountains with the Berbers - in the oassiis at Tozeur and Nefta - sleeping in the desert in a tent (camel safari) - sleeping in a cave in the mountains - explore the luscous north coast - take a day ferry to Malta and back - try a shopping-day crossing to Algeria or Libya - take a decent map and pen with (place names are very confusing) Unlike you, I loved similar Morocco too, just get out of the capital and stay away from your disliked "touristy places" like Djerba which you will not tolerate and marinas north of Monastir (Monastir itself though is charming).....

Can you get one off the ferry? would love to do that!!) - try a shopping-day crossing to Algeria or Libya (Good luck with that...make sure you get some invitations first.. I'll let you know how it goes) - take a decent map and pen with (place names are very confusing) (I will buy a map when I get there) Tashi --- LIFE IS AN ATTITUDE! ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU WISH YOU COULD!

Perhaps from another port? http://business.timesofmalta.com/article.php?id=3645 http://www.fodors.com/forums/threadselect.jsp?fid=2&tid=34711999 Canadians do not need a visa in Malta http://www.learn4good.com/travel/malta_visa.htm RR --- Rudolf "Rangutan" Graspointner Reply    Reply with quote    Contact rangutan
