The Ramadan Effect

Yesterday was the beginning of Ramadan 2010.
What interesting events will unfold during this period?

Fish in La Goulette

Monday night went to the restaurant 'Parador' in the area of Goulette to celebrate Laurie's last day in Tunisia.Originally we were going to 'Le Petit Etoile' but it was closed,perhaps because of Ramadan.Janet,Natalie,Kaithe,Tom and Dawn also came.I ended up eating Dorade again,it's usually the best thing to have in the Tunisian restaurants.

El Mana Circus

Went to see the French circus Mana last night,it was half circus and half musical.The costumes were very good especially the dragon and the aliens though I wasn't so keen on the singing.The show was an interesting colourful spectacle but it seemed short,only an hour and an half.The atmosphere in the Roman theatre was good with many kids having the colour light sticks.

Jes's last day

Saw Jes off at the airport but later on she texted me that there was a two hour two delay,which was a pity as we could have spent more time together.It's been a great few days with Jes!Later on Jes texted me telling me the delay was much longer and the flight took off at the time it was supposed to arrive in London ,well over three hours delay so Jes wasn't going to arrive home until midnight ! Anyway I hope she arrived safely,I expect she did.

Sidi Bou Said

Yesterday nice relaxing day with Jes in Sidi Bou Said.
In the evening Jes went to a concert by the Italian singer Eros Ramazotti.

Hammamet

The day before going to Hammamet,Jes and I spent a nice day in Sidi Bou Said first on the Alimicar Beach and later on had another swim at the beach next to Sidi Bou Said Marina and up to the village.Later on Jes had dinner with her friends.Spent a very nice time with Jes in Hammamet.The guy at 'Le Hammamet Hotel 'remembered me from the last time I was there.In the evening we had a nice meal at the nearby Italian restaurant.The next day was spent mostly on the beach and exploring the Souks in the Medina,and later on, cool refreshing milk shakes at an ice cream cafe on the way to catch the 'louage taxi' back to Tunis,which only took about 45 minutes.

Sunday On The Beach

Went to the beach at Amilcar,also had lunch at the beach restaurant.
