verbal Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Then we've probably stayed in the same place. Horrible place. -Weather indeed is great -Since my wife is a blonde, she got all the attention and not in a positive way I mean. -While shopping around, our 2 year old was pulled out of my arms " ah lovely baby" by a shopholder and ran off into his shop. We had to follow and he persisted on buying some of his stuf "ah you in my shop, you now buy something" . -Don't rent a bike or car, they have different number plates for rentals and people actually aim at you while driving so they can claim for insurance. -wath out for the food and ice cubes in you drinks, we still sufferd from food poisining a week after we returned -Don't leave your luggage at the Hotel reception, ours got stolen.. They "found" them the day after we'd left.Bags returned with only our clothes, all other values were gone... Tunisia.... Oh, another horror story from a colleague of mine, he went on a desert trip to see an oasis and halfway the driver got out of the bus and demanded that everyone in the bus paid $40 or else he would leave the bus in the middle of the desert... It was a prepaid trip..... Anyway, enjoy your stay. Sorry, nothing but bad news I was in tunisia 2 years ago... Not my cup of tea.... Weather was great but water was very dirty....

Believe it or not but he also brought a few friends to convince them.. They ended up paying for the 40 bucks and filed a complaint at the travel agency. Guess what, they weren't the first... We went there in '98, maybe things have changed by now but this experience was more then enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
