Fourth Day in Tunusia

Old Medina, Tunis

Today's plan is stroll in the Medina with Adel as a friend of Mohamed, Hishem took me to the city centre by his car and joined us for one hour. We were standind in front of Bab Bhar( Sea Gate) is one of the Gates and  for defended the city. We met Adel and were walking into Zetuna Mosque that is one of the oldest one.

Hishem and I were really hungry and want to eat whatever it is possible couldn't concantrate the road. We met Makroud as a dessert it is very delicious. While we were strolling I was planing the next day's trip towards Sousse with Mohamed.

In Old Medina , there are some jewellery shops, parfume shops, silver shop, old clock repair shops, silver repair shops, spices shops and old Median famous for handmade carpets and makroad we came into a Carpet House and walked up the stairs to see the terrace and the view was fabolous with the withe clouds in the blue sky, old Medina's white houses, minares of the Mosques, Katedrales, new city were together.
 Hishem had to go to work and left us with Adel came into Old Bey Families' Tombs.Bey means king in old Tunusian time. Women and Men graves have diffrents shapes, Women's l head stone look like a square,  men's head stone look like a turban. The style of the walls were covered partly mosaics and simple. In jewellery houses something attached me there are bracelets with a shape of a hand and learnt it is Fatima's hand, people bealive it protects themselves from bad eyes like a eye-evil bead in Turkey. There aren't many tourists around after 14th January Revulation and tourists %40 are less than before the revulation.

The weather was always sunny and warm, didn't need to wear a jacket, felt sunny with Adel we ate charwarna in a restaurant because I was hungry so much and could eat Adel. He had been in Turkey once, knows Besiktas football team, Husnu Senlendirici, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, big fun of Istanbul wants to visit Turkey again.

We walked to Municipalty building there were some Tunusian people escaped from Libya after 6th of March 2011 chaos. A TV programmer was making a interview with a woman and she was telling she had left the her flat, job thereand now she is jobless and homeless. To compare Tunusia Libya money  lost 1/3 value.

Adel and I walked towards new Clock Tower is built in 2003, I fell in love with the Clock Tower in the night, it looks as if there is someting inside the Clock  Tower  and it fires ans speads the rays out of the tower at night. By taxi we went to Tunis Lake in a cafe we drank Tunusian style tea, they put the sugar and tea together and add soem fresh or dired minty on it at around six Yosr joined us drew to car to a restaurant that serves leblebi, tradational Tunusian food. I said goodbye to Adel, he would going to Cerba tomorrow.

With Yosr we got to see her mother and aunt, her mother looks very young even though she is 57 and worked for years, now retared and had fu with her life.

When I came home felt tired of walking all day, couldn't eat either and fell into sleep at once and it was 9pm.
