We were in Tunisia supposed to be having some rest. However, we found ourselves facing a terrorist attack instead. As a parent I needed to be quick thinking and to protect my child. Here I share 12 steps that I believe a parent should read and talk over with their child/children. You never know when […]
We both love taking photos. Those are some of the people we have met in our last week in Djerba. This man had a limp, and a million dollar smile. Explorason asked to take his photo. Then he looked so deeply at us. He limped off and came and picked jasmine for me. He placed […]
Djerbahood. What is it? It is street art and world famous and is found in a little town called Er-Riadh. We hire a taxi and he takes us through the back lanes. Here is just some of it. There is much more, and also amazing stores full of artists and art too. http://www.djerbahood.com Check […]
This is a pictorial blog. We visit the little town of Er-Riadh on Djerba Island in Tunisia. Here we first visit El Ghriba Synagogue.

Regency Hotel and Spa is where we have been staying the past few days, and one of the lovely animation team led five of the guests (which included us) for a guided tour of the small city of Monastir. It was a hot day, so we were glad it was only about a 10-minute walk […]
Tunisia. A land where the people smile, the service is amazing, and the shopping is incredible. It is a land where resorts are a destination experience in themselves. Framissima Regency Hotel and Spa is in the heart of the Marina of Monastir, and only 5-10 minutes walking from the town center with its Medina, “Ribat” and the […]
