Today we fly to Malta on Tunisia Air. The trip to the airport and through security was uneventful.

Today we drive to Sidi Bou Said which is built somewhat on top of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ancient Carthage.

Then to El Djem museum which contains the mosaics from a few villas in the rich section of the Roman city of Thysdrus. The museum itself is house that was next to the archealogical site and was donated to house the mosaics.

Today we’ve chosen to take the optional day trip to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of El Djem and the old Roman city of Thysdrus.

Today is Sunday and many things are closed, so it will be a less full day, with more free time.

We fly from London to Tunis today.

We spent a few days visiting my sister and her family before our trip. The twins and my sister have birthdays right at the beginning of the trip, so we celebrated a few days early.
