Tunisia, Day Two; The Hunt For Cash Continues
by FutureProject • November 4, 2011 • Holidays & Going Out • 0 Comments
Started the day with breakfast, which was less problematic due to knowing where the plates were, then off to see Tina our holiday rep who offered us a bunch of excursions for purchase, although I would have probably loved it the 2 day sahara desert trip was not only out of our price bracket, it also involved a leg of camel, donkey or horse riding and Vicky has allergies to most things with hair. We opted for a “Medina Ramble” which is a guided shopping trip and “El Djem” a half day trip to the third largest amphitheatre in the Roman Empire.
It was then time to hunt for cash again, we went back to the cash point which gave us nothing the day before for the same result, at least its consistent, and then followed the instructions from Tina to walk to the beach, we could have got the free horse and carriage, but lets face it, I could do with the exercise.
The beach was nice enough with fine soft sand at the top and harder sand and seaweed closer to the water, so i could walk along the beach without hating every second of the sand getting in my shoes and up my nose, if you go near that stuff it gets everywhere, we spotted the marina and headed in that direction.
The marina was our first taste of store and bar workers dragging customers into their shops with phrases such as “please look” and the amusing, “cheaper than Primark” this made Vicky a bit uncomfortable as every one of the shops hassled us, most hassling us to tell us that they would not hassle us if we would look in their shops. Other than the hassle the marina was nice, lots of nice boats, some traditional and plenty of fish and crabs swimming around to keep us entertained. Half way round the marina we found a working cash point so the hunt for cash, and our main worry, was over.
We wandered back to the hotel where Vicky had a nap and I took advantage of stolen WIFI, which I can get in one corner of our balcony. Dinner was again a much better experience as we knew how it all worked. We opted out of the £40 drag show and chilled out for the rest of the evening.
