Day 46 Sunday 01/11/09

We joined some of the cavers and a group of people connected by Facebook for an excursion organised by Mohsen to the ancient sites of Bulla Regia, Chemtou and then to the National Park El Feija on the Algerian border. At the park, the Tunisians spent a long time photographing a stag – they were quite amazed when we explained that we have too many so they are culled and we eat them!
Most of the Tunisians had never been to any of these sites, and have not really explored their own country. They were a very friendly group of people and we had some excellent translators, especially Aida (a big thank you!).

Upon leaving the park, we were stopped by National Guard, asking us many questions that we simply could not understand. We were very grateful when the coach stopped and Mohsen and Hamza appeared to explain that we were with them!
