Place Ali Belhouane

Today we met Seif and his family in a town called Utica.
Who knew it existed? .. might be the same as Koewacht. But with a small difference. Utica is one of the oldest Phoenician cities of North Africa.
Koewacht does not even come near...
But anyway, again it was the friend from a friend who told a friend that we were on our way through Tunisia. And so we landed on this piece of history.
I am in doubt which I liked more. Seif and his family and the wonderful lunch his mom made for us...or the remains of the old city.
I think I will choose the first. As the stones could not cook, speak and laugh!..
..
After the lunch we took of to Tunis.
The capital of Tunisia.
I must say.. traffic was again an experience. Especially as Mr Google sent us into small streets with market stalls, and lots of people...
..
But we made it to the hotel, what we had booked for our visa for Algeria.
As the plan was, to leave the 12th to Salerno, Italy.
But Italy is now on Lockdown..

It looks like the boat will sail. But we are afraid we will not be on it.. As there ia a chance that we are not able to move from the harbour or have to stay in a hotel as long as the lockdown of Italy is effected.
And even if we are allowed to travel, we might get stuck in Bari or Albania, because they want us to get in quarantine..
So..
..
We decided that we stay in Tunisia, and try to discover this country, which we did not intended to visit longer than 4 days..
It might gone be now more than three weeks..
..
Tomorrow we try to visit the Dutch Embassy and check what they know.
But on this moment,
...
It's decided.Read more
