Тунисская туса или аллес нормалес! Tunisian tusa or alles normales!

Having visited almost 30 countries, including half of Europe, Cuba, Vietnam, Thailand, Sri Lanka, etc. , etc. , I decided to write a review about my vacation for the first time. We rested with my family from 19.07. to 31.07. 2012. I always thought about this country that it is in the range of budget countries something in between Turkey and Egypt, but Tunisia turned out to be something out of the ordinary for me. I still can’t understand what plunged me into Tunisian euphoria, either all-inclusive from which I have long lost the habit, or a super company (friends flew to our hotel, with whom we rested in Ceylon a year earlier + a wonderful Siberian whom we met in El Mouradi), or the sultry sky of Tunisia, exuding some kind of universal love for others, or all of this together. However, these are emotions. . . In short, the holiday was a success. First, some practical advice - when you check in, give 10-20 bucks and ask for a room starting from the 400th - this is a new building, where the rooms are newer and more spacious. We were first settled in the 209th - it's dark (the smell of sewerage, crumpled furniture and a view of the wall), but 30 dinars an hour later transferred us to a secluded 508th with a huge balcony and sea views. Let's tip 1-2 dinars. They will not make you poorer, but for this money you buy a good mood for yourself and the smiles of those to whom you give them. Baksheesh in Africa is a delicate matter. At the end of the holiday, the hotel staff with the words Dima, my friend climbed to hug. Surprisingly, the sea and the beach were not allowed to go on excursions, and they didn’t want to. I didn’t want to look at the ruins of the Colosseum (I saw enough of this in Italy, Spain and Israel), I also ignored the 2-day Sahara 1200 km and didn’t want to change it at sea (and I traveled along it in Egypt) In my opinion, Tunisia is not a sightseeing Mecca (all tours, except maybe Carthage, and even that one for history fans, are sucked from the finger, in order to suck money out of us) and in general not a shopping country (ceramics, souvenirs, olive oil - that's probably all) So relax on the sea is crystal clear there and the beach is one of the best on the coast + good and inexpensive water and air extreme. The food is excellent, the booze is foreign, the servants are decent, I would add more - but this is personal. . . Go to the cartage - land, better after 9 pm. From 5 pm to 9 pm they have a break, I don’t know if it’s always or in Ramadan. There are few people at this time and there are few attractions (not Disneyland and not Porto Ventura, of course) But for 15 dinars on your nose, you can have fun. When we stopped at the hotel, there were 10 percent of Russians, at the end our motley lads pulled up, as usual, not without cattle. Standard scene in the lobby bar - Give me one beer and one whiskey! - Van beer, end van whiskey? - What the hell did I say? Give me one beer and one whiskey! Freaks are already tired, learn Russian. In 10 minutes. - Give Cuba rum. The staff already pours him local rum without question (because it is imported for money) and people who are already half a century old, but have not had brains, satisfied that the language barrier has been overcome and rolls off to thump. There was no desire to look at the continuation of the banquet and we went for a swim. There is a piano in this bar, you can play it. True, there is a sign on it - For professionals only, but they didn’t drive me away from there (it means that I didn’t forget everything) In the evenings, animation (rather average) then a disco. After it, we went either to a non-working bar by the beach or to the beach - we sang songs, had fun. Once a week karaoke in all languages. In summary, value for money is excellent. Relax in Tunisia!! !
