Back to Monastir Airport
Not the most inspiring of landscapes - all very dry and sandy and even the cacti looked as though they needed a good drink.
My favourite photo is of the horse and cart passing the school of Economic and Politics. This says it all about Tunisia - the older generation find it hard to let go of past traditions and they are losing their younger generation who are more educated and moving to Europe.
The infrastructure is random and ill-kept and bureaucracy suffocates the individual. The women of Tunisia are progressing at a faster rate than the men which seems to happen in most countries where women have been oppressed.
Tunisia in five years will be so different from the Tunisia of now - I hope they succeed because they have the potential of becoming one of the most popular places to visit or live in in North Africa and have a generation to entice back into their economy.
