The Mother of all Mothers

and animals. It is so complete. This place is awesome. After a couple of hours, it was time to move on. We both know, this won't be the last Roman ruin we will ever see, but as far as Coloseums go, it will be hard to beat this.

I've followed orders, god knows where I've been
But I woke up alone, all my wounds were clean
I'm still here
I'm still a fool for the holy grail

Back to the louage gare, we found our new bitch and waited for the van to fill up with more Izzy lovers. In between waiting, I manage to put down another two Capusins. Somehow, our man oversold the seats, so a little argument unfolded. A few push and shoves happened, and then we were on our way back to the gare in Sfax. Once there, back into the crowd we went.

Gabsa, Gabsa Gabsa. Sousse, Sousse, Sousse. Djerba, Djerba, Djerba. That man was our new bitch. We dumped our bags, bought some tickets, and celebrated in the only way how that I knew. Two Capusins. We sat for quite a while. We needed one Izzy lover, but we couldn't find one. Eventually, the other Izzys lost it. They started screaming at the driver. It looked like it was going to kick off, so I followed them out to the ticket office. The driver came up to me and started speaking French to me. I had know idea what he was going on about, well one piece. The bit about needing one person. Around 15 minutes later, the Police brought over an Izzy lover to us, and we were on our way.

A couple of hours later, we stopped. I joined in with the Izzy lovers and had another Capusin. I jumped back into the louage, and yesterday, I now realised I was full of shit. I was wired, and I do mean wired. I tried closing my eyes, and shapes and colours were flying everywhere. I have become addicted to this shit. I am scared of going cold turkey, so I'm just going to keep pouring it down, until my blood is filled with Capusin !!! We dumped one Izzy lover off in Gabes, and another jumped in. A couple of hours later, we arrived at the ferry terminal that would take us over to the island of Djerba. Whist waiting for the car ferry to start, a pod of dolphins came swimming around us. All the Izzy lovers came running over, and I swear I heard one say, " Mmmmmm, look at that Ton (tuna)"!!! Maybe it was the Capusin, but I don't believe that for a minute !!!

So now we are in Djerba. We will be here for a couple of days before we make the big move over to Libya

Capusins drunk - 7

Capusins total - 9
