Rest in Sousse and an independent trip to Carthage
This year, in early May, we decided to warm up with my husband and fly to the sea. The choice fell on Tunisia, and more specifically – the resort of Sousse, as we were approached by the ratio of price and quality. Of course, I expected a scorching sun and at least a little warm sea, and so I took a whole suitcase of summer clothes. Unfortunately, more than half did not come in handy for me, I went about where I flew from St. Petersburg. The beginning of May is Tunisian spring, the water has not yet warmed up, its temperature is no more than 16 degrees.

There are plenty of places to spend the night in the city, because it is a resort, but you needed something inexpensive. As a result, he settled in a hotel, where there was one dormitory room. I suspect that not all people know what is hidden in distant countries behind this word. Continue reading
