How was it? Would you recommend it for a week in February? I have been talking to TunisUSA tour company. Sounds very interesting. <BR>Thanks for your help.

Sorry.Didn't read your message til now.Tunisia is a fascinating place,keen on tourism and progressively Islamic.Beach resorts and hotels are fantastic.Many Germans and French visit there. Read Gina's recommendations on tunisia. She was there on 09-11. Make your own decisions, but as a vacation destination as of last March, I would highly recommend it. Feb. would be in the off season with pleasant temps. and far fewer tourists. Book, go and enjoy...

We enjoyed a beach holiday a while ago, although we got upset tummies (a common experience in Tunisia), lovely people, great beaches and good weather. February might be not so hot. We stayed near Monastir - a town well worth a visit - it is where Monty Python's 'Life of Brian' was filmed!

How can one avoid tummy upset? Booked to go to Tunisia next April and as my tummy is a bit sensitive I'm a bit apprehensive.

Tammy hi! Just came back from Tunisia (Djerba) two weeks ago. Incidentally, there is not that much one can do about an upset tummy. <BR>I was sick one day. Nothing dramatic, just annoying. I am an experienced traveller in all kind of countries, and still, sometimes it happens. Never had a problem though in India. It just happens, even if you avoid salads, too many fruit, too cold drinks or juices, etc. <BR>When it happens: Drink a small glass of Ricard (French anisette aperitif) without water or ice. It works, believe me! <BR>Make sure you drink enough black tea or Coke and start slowly to eat cooked carrots, rice, mashed potatoes, etc. No spicy food for one or two days!

Hi Tammy,<BR><BR>Don't know if you're still checking for replies to your Oct. post, but on the "tummy upset" issue: one big reminder I'd offer is *don't* eat unpeeled fruit! I knew this caveat, I'd traveled a lot before, but in the hotels in which I stayed on this trip I got a lot of gorgeous fruit plates sent to my room by hotel mgmt., as I was there on business. Somehow I neglected to remember that, four- or five-star hotel or no, I should still peel said fruit. I felt fine throughout the trip (8 days), but almost as soon as I got home had some digestive issues that kept me running to the restroom every five minutes for about a week. So...peel that fruit!
