Friday 1st May – Hammamet, Tunisia

Once we were up, Richard went to scout out the local supermarket for some cereal for breakfast whilst I made coffee. We had a pleasant morning enjoying the sun in the cockpit.


Port Yasmine is a large tourist complex about 3 miles from Hammamet itself, so late morning we decided to take a trip into town. On the way we saw that the post office was closed and we realised that it was Friday (and a bank holiday) so some of the town might be shut; with some cloud coming in we decided we would save that trip for another day and we had a wander around the resort here.


This afternoon the sky clouded right over so we returned to Pyxis for lunch and then I spent the afternoon painting whilst Richard tackled some administration on the computer (we've found some wifi, albeit with very slow speed, but still having some problems sending e-mail).


This evening we went to 'happy hour' at a local bar/restaurant with some of the liveaboard community here and have enjoyed chatting with them and finding out about the area.
