Tunis or not?

[PRINCESSTHE BEST]

Malta is a great little island. Steeped in history, I love it!!! Tunis? Ugh!!

[Host Sharon]

I agree - Malta is lovely but have been three times before and on this occasion won't manage the steep streets following knee surgery. Also it will be heaving with all those other passengers.

 

I find the narrow, winding medinas etc of the Arab countries - Tunisia, Morocco etc fascinating - love them - but accepted we can't go there. Just hoped for a replacement more off the beaten track like southern Italy perhaps.

We got the lift up to town on our last visit to Valletta....short level walk to the right as you leave terminal....queue but it moved quickly and there we were in ?Barraca gardens overlooking the harbour! Well worth the one or two euros it cost :)

I am delighted we are not going to tunis, but I think they could have told us? Jenny, looks like yours is 3 days before us.

Yes- did that on my last visit. No sorry - I am going to sulk!! :)

 

Anyway - I may yet have to cancel whole cruise as surgery has been delayed a week so may not be fit to travel.

Interesting - just heard on the BBC news that the Foreign Office has changed its travel advice and now says All but essential travel to tunisia should be avoided. Another threat is likely.

FCO has also advised all British nationals to leave the country. Thomson and Thomas Cook have cancelled their summer programmes.
