- quiet trip. Partly due to the weather which was a bit overcast but improved as the trip went on. There was probably less to do than in other places but maybe I just stayed in the quieter parts of town
- people are very friendly. It helps if you can speak a bit of French as most people on the street don't speak English, but they do in hotels, restauarants and other tourist areas. Feels quite a male dominated society, although certainly the younger females probably adopted more western dress than I have seen in other similar countries
- taxi drivers are mad, probably a macho thing although generally driving in tunisia appears a random affair
- a lot of the main tourist sites, such as roman ruins seem a bit underplayed - maybe it's down to this being low season
- trains v cheap but ..... unreliable!
- probably less advanced in some area of technology. To buy tickets everything is paper based and a lot of the transport options you would expect to access online are not available. Bolt is available in Tunis area only but was very useful on occasions
- would recommend trying but not on list of places to quickly go back to
