2 girls in Tunisia

Introduction,
I do not know if I would ever go there, Tunisia seemed to be so far away, but there was one event, that I really wanted to participate and I actually went there because of that. Ilies and Hela wedding :)
Me and Pawel we were invited already in Feb I think, so we were planning a trip for quite long time. In June, it occurs that Pawel is irreplaceable at work, so I went with Izabela.

First surprise - Tunisia is not far away, only 3 hours flight from Poznan. One hour to get to Hammamet, and ten minutes to go to the beach. We had accommodation in Hammamet- Jasminie, touristic district of Hammamet, only hotels there... and sandy beaches.

Visiting Tunisia
I noticed after one week that I used to talking to people on the street, I mean I was kind of angry sometimes, we were even rude from time to time, but in general always had good intention, smiling to us and try to get some good conversation. I was not afraid to talk , sometimes I was only tried.

Travelling
We were travelling with buses there, taxis (there is huge amount of them and they searching for customers. All taxi drivers we met were very nice. ) To Tunis we were taking few times this kind of taxi, for 7 people, that waits when it is full and then goes (pretty fast) to the capital. It was very good price and interesting experience. I felt very good in all of those and do not have bad memories.

Buying souvenirs
We were visiting many places (especially to find the proper water pipe for Pawel). We were in Hammamet Jasmine Medina, Old Hammamet Medina, twice in Tunis, and in Naboul.
It was really big challenge cause all the sellers were inviting us to their shops. Screaming to come in every possible language. It was kind of funny, when we passed by the shop they were calling us: Shakiraa, Shakirra, La gazelle, .... For me it was something new, but people there were really like asking you to come, talk, for minute, watch my shop, look what is there , and when only he noticed that you directed you eyes to some particular thing, they want to quickly sell it, even they pack it right away. If you are not really interested to by something, do not try to bargain. It is not worth, usually it really takes time to set up good price for both. After few times, when I really paid too much, I think that I was able to get good price, when both me and he was totally happy. Probably anyway he was even happier :)


Sahara
This was excellent trip, the only event organized by tourist agency we participated.




Comming back home
Kind of strange ... nobody talk to me on the street, I really used to do that.
