The above photo is what it looked like as we arrived in the Port of (La Goulette). It had been raining and we could see this beautiful rainbow from our Balcony.

 Is this what you would picture if you arrived in Africa?

Like in most ports, the sunrise was stunning.

Once we disembarked from the ship, we headed to our first stop, Bardo National Museum, you can check out both of my post about the museum here.  After we left the museum, we headed to the Medina where we had lunch.

We made a stop here, on our way to  Carthage, to see this portion of these Roman Aqueducts.

The place was very clean with no trash to be seen anywhere.

I loved this picture of the vendors setting up for the day.

The important elements of Tunisian culture are diverse and represent a unique, mixed heritage. This heritage can be experienced first-hand in museums such as the Bardo Museum, the contrast and diversity of city architecture such as Sidi Bou Said or the medina of Tunis.

 I was also surprised to find much of the area around Tunisia to be in the blue and white which I thought was only found in the tourist town of Sidi Bou Said.

Of the places we traveled around Europe, I think Africa had the most beautiful doors.  You can see all of my pictures of Tunisia at my travel blog Southern Blue Traveler.  There are also more pictures of these beautiful doors.
