We left northern Tunisia and immediately lost our Blackberry service and found that WAP was not set up on the phone despite O2 promising it was so we can no longer be tracked on Google Latitude or easily send our blog entries in. We're likely to not get our service at all in Libya either so it may be quiet for a while.

We've zig zagged down towards the Libyan border seeing some fantastic Roman ruins along the way. We've met literally hundreds of French motorhomes all going or leaving a rally in Tozeur as well as a lovely South African / New Zealand couple driving home to SA! We've tried some local foods even Jon and also the Black coffee, fought our way through souks and markets, cycled 2 km into the Sahara, spent 3 hours lying on the dunes in the sun in perfect tranquillity then headed to the nearest hotel to make use of the hot spring pool! 

We've even had to stop to let a herd of camels cross the road. Tunisia has been a great experience and the people outside the tourist centres helpful and very friendly. In the tourist zones the people are quite different, if they say a word to you it is because they want you to come into their shop, buy something or just want money. It gets a bit annoying and counter productive in the end as we tend to avoid the zones as we're fed up saying no thanks. Libya next...
