African Oasis

Today we set off for Africa! To be exact Tunisia. We have a seven-day tour of mediterranean beaches, muslim mosques, arab and berber villages, desert oasis, camel and jeep rides through the Sahara Desert, and more.

Geography lesson: Tunisia is in northern Africa, tucked between Algeria and Libya, forming the southern border of the mediterranean sea.



We've been at the beach in Portosin all weekend, so today we have to do laundry and pack. Our flight leaves at 11:30 PM and we arrive at 2:30 AM Monastir, Tunisia. Supposedly there will be someone at the airport with a little "TravelPlan" sign to greet us and take us to our hotel. Then tomorrow we start the grand adventure. We will have a spanish speaking guide and all our meals are provided...mmmm, lots of spicy cus cus, I imagine.

We feel like we're about to imbark in an Indian Jones type of adventure. I'll let you know if we find the Holy Grail.
