Sometimes, it gets to the point, where you think I am either going to hit somone or you quit your job, and I was getting close to the point. Luckily, we had an escape clause. Back in November, when BA, completely fucked us around, they gave us 100 pounds as a goodwill offer, so we had to choose either Madrid for a weekend or Tunisia for two weeks, so giving the circunstances, it was Tunisia all the way

Compared to when we left home the first time back in 96, we had a 35mm camera. For this trip we have, two Canon Ixus 500s, one Canon G6, one 80 gig hard drive to store the multitude of photos we are going to take, two Iriver 40 gig MP3 players for all our music, movies and episodes of Nip/Tuck, and loads of power adaptors !!! Overkill, never !!!

Now, Tunisia as a place, might not be the most exciting of places for some, but we are here for the Roman ruins, and also a bit of the Life of Brian and Star Wars, but before we see any of this, we had to negotiate a plane full of parents and their kids going to the typical Tunisian resorts. So, from the start, the screaming started, I was getting ready to murder anybody, so I consoled myself with a couple of vodka tonics, knowing that they maybe my last for the next couple of weeks

Jumped in a cab, and headed for a loage station, fuck the trains, this is the only way to travel. So, as I sit here in the heat of Le Kef, the plan now is to see the Roman ruins of Bulla Regia, Dougga and Sbeitla, so until then, I have to get used to this dodgy keyboard with funny letters all over it §§§§§ See what I mean.
