Today we got a taxi up to the catacombs, over 15,000 bodies lay encased in the walls there. We had been told that the offer of some money and they would open up the 'non-public' areas for us to wander around but I'll be honest, basements scare me at the best of times let alone kilometres of underground tunnels with no map!!! I'm sure Sy would have gone in regardless but he's definitely braver than me.

After the catacombs we found our way to the Medina, the walled part to the city. Inside is a maze of little alleyways and shops, also residential areas. Looking at the map after we emerged, we realised in the few hours we'd been in there we had only discovered a third of it! The shopkeepers were not as full on as India and we walked past many that didn't even say a thing. We got to it and started buying some of the things we knew we wanted to take home. With all our shopping we headed back out of the medina but I got distracted by a box of baby tortoises. I had been told that they are considered lucky in Tunisia but for all I know they could have been food. Either way I couldn't resist picking a few up, just wish I could have got them home on the plane!!

Taxi back home and into the bar, already I'm realising that all inclusive is a dangerous thing!! Popped in to get a full body massage and facial which was a bargain and I was left feeling very relaxed!!! The hotel was running an Arabic lesson so got stuck in and learnt some very handy phrases. Dan the rep had recommended a steak house up the road so we decided to check that out. It reminded me of a harvester as it had the salad bar etc. The steaks however were miles above a harvester!! Argentinean juicy, tasty steaks, they were amazing & cooked to perfection. When we got back to the hotel there was a random piano guy playing that sounded awful so we went to the other bar!
