    Le Sultan Hammamet!

    November 13, 2025 in Tunisia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    After two horrible flights to get to Tunis we made it to Hammamet!
    The resort is very aesthetic with it’s white architecture reminiscent of the Arabic influence in Tunisia.
    There are so many activities to keep us active but today it was all about relaxing on the beach and on the terrace.
    That is until…

  • Running at sunset!!! الحمامات الجوفية

    November 13, 2025 in Tunisia ⋅ 🌬 22 °C

    It was impossible not to go running on our first day here despite more than 30 hours without sleeping!
    That first run sure did not disappoint!!!
    A nice 6 km by the sea all the way to Fort Hammamet at sunset!
    We already want to go back!!!
    The architecture and the flora are so amazing!
    We couldn’t help but stop to take a few pictures and videos along the way!

  • Golden Tunisia!

    November 14, 2025 in Tunisia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    After a great 12 hours of sleep in very comfortable beds we were ready to enjoy a full day at the beach!
    We had a nice light breakfast and then headed seaside!
    We splurged in an amazing Nutella crepe at the end of the day. It tasted as good as the ones in Paris!
    Tonight again we were granted a beautiful show of nature!
    Great relaxing vacation so far!

  • Beach and run… on repeat!الحمامات الجوفي

    November 15, 2025 in Tunisia ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    The temperature should have been around 20 degrees but we are lucky to enjoy sunshine and 25 degrees!
    It did not take us long to decide to make the most of those hot days to enjoy as much of the beach as we could!
    We even went in the cool sea a few times today!
    We couldn’t pass on another sunset run even if running may be the hardest thing to do after a lazy beach day!

  • Of blues and white…

    November 16, 2025 in Tunisia ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    The average temperature for November along the Mediterranean coast of Tunisia is 20 degrees.
    We were extreme lucky to enjoy temperatures between 24 and 28 degrees as well as plenty of sunshine for the first few days of our vacation.
    Needless to say that we spent most of our time at the beach!
    Despite the heat we clocked in 11 km of running at sunset!
    Tomorrow the forecast calls for temperatures back to the seasonal norms so we will start exploring this beautiful country!

  • Hammamet Medina!

    November 17, 2025 in Tunisia ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    After our usual light and healthy breakfast, we walked from our hotel to the Hammamet Medina.
    It is a much more civilized experience than the souks in Marrakech!
    Much smaller, less people but still plenty of cute little boutiques
    The vendors are rather agressive trying to get you to come into their boutiques so they can sell you anything.
    We did find a few little souvenirs to bring back home with us.
    Overall we walked close to 10 km this morning so we were happy to relax on the beach and then the terrace this afternoon!

  • Tunis and Carthage!

    November 19, 2025 in Tunisia ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Today was a day full of amazing discoveries!
    We had the privilege to take a VIP guided tour of Tunis, Carthage and Sidi Bou Saïd!

    We first explored the souks of Tunis, in the medina, and got treated to a special access to a rooftop to admire the roofs of Tunis!

    We then drove through the ruins of Carthage which are scattered over a wide area and rich with more than 3000 years of history!

  • Traditional Tunisian lunch!

    November 19, 2025 in Tunisia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    We had an amazing traditional Tunisian lunch of varied salads, a brik which is a fried crepe with egg and tuna, a fish couscous (they even chopped the head of the fish off so I wouldn’t have to stare into the eyes of the thing as I was about to eat!!) and a bowl of local oranges and clementines just as we got to Sidi Bou Saïd!Read more

  • Sidi Bou Saïd!

    November 19, 2025 in Tunisia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Sidi Bou Saïd is a small village perched close to the mediterranean sea just past Carthage.
    The buildings are all white and blue!
    It has to be the most aesthetic place in Tunisia!
    It is home to the Café des délices which was rendered famous by Patrick Bruel’s song « Au café des délices ».
    We tried a local delicatessen called a bambaloni which is a fried « beignet » sprinkled with sugar. OMG! Good thing we do not have those at home or we would have to run twice as much!!!!
    This was undeniably the highlight of our trip so far!

  • Zenitude and sunshine!

    November 20, 2025 in Tunisia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    There is something to be said for zenitude and sunshine!

    After our amazing day of discovery yesterday, we decided to take it easy today and bask in the sun while it was still warm!
    We spent the day at the resort, reading and taking a few pictures.
    My zen moment by the window doesn’t tell the tale of the aftermath.
    The hand rail got literally ripped off the wall when I got down from the ledge. There went my zenitude!!!

  • Market Day in Nabeul!

    November 21, 2025 in Tunisia ⋅ 🌬 15 °C

    On Fridays it’s market day in Nabeul, a town next to Hammamet.
    It was recommended by the guide who took us to Tunis and Sidi Bou Saïd so we got on a taxi and made our way there this morning.
    Travels are made of amazing discoveries and sometimes little disappointments. This was one for us. Our expectations of stands overloaded with local fruits and vegetables were confronted to stands much like the ones we find in the souks full of… everything and anything.
    We still enjoyed the stalls of dattes and clementines though!

  • Tennis anyone!

    November 21, 2025 in Tunisia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    The weather being gorgeous but cooler today, we made the most of the tennis court!
    It was fun to exchange a few balls on clay courts for the first time!!

  • Picture perfect!

    November 22, 2025 in Tunisia ⋅ 🌬 14 °C

    Today was unusually cold and windy.
    So we lounged around and read a lot!
    We also went for our longest run of the vacation. Best feeling ever!
    I made the most of taking pretty pictures of the resort.
    That window is definitely my picture perfect view of Tunisia!
    I never get enough of it! Morning and afternoon!!
