Tuesday 12th May – Monastir, Tunisia

35:46.823N 10:49.956E

 

Today we have had a quiet day in the marina, recovering from the exertion of the last three days; we are all exhausted.

 

At lunchtime Richard and I headed into town to the market for some fresh supplies. 

 

On the way we stopped at the impressive mausoleum of the former President, Habib Bourguiba, the Founder and First President of the Republic of Tunisia, whose home was here in Monastir.  Our history lessons on the tour gave us a better appreciation of the monument.

 

This evening I have been catching up with writing the blog.
