Tunisia: 12 days and 1500 km of pure love❤️

12 days and 1,500 km are behind me.

I covered a huge part of Tunisia and saw far more than you would on any all-inclusive holiday: the coast, cities, the desert, oases, salt flats, mountains, and hills.

I exchanged a thousand smiles, waved back at hundreds of people, and managed to have brief conversations with quite a few. I didn’t meet a single hostile person. In fact, the further I got from the tourist hotspots, the warmer and more hospitable the people became.

In the less touristy regions, I was even escorted by the police for two days. The events of a decade ago still leave a mark on a country that relies so heavily on tourism.

Along the way, I put some gear to the test. I was let down by some (Topeak frame bag) and fell in love with others (Tailfin handlebar system).

I feel that everything I saw, experienced, and learned here is just a prologue to the next chapter. Is that chapter titled 'Algeria'? Time will tell 🙂
