Tunisia, part 2

After a few days we wanted to go somewhere else, a 'day-off'. We decided to go to Tunis, the capital city of Tunisia. Some people we spoke to requested us to go by train, because the connection between Tunis and Borj Cedria, where we stayed, was excellent. So we took a taxi to the station for only 2 dinnaars, which is 1 euro (!), and also 2 dinnaars p.p for the train trip. Holland can learn from these prices! I imagined that morning that it was going to be a good day, but unfortunately there were some impediments which bothered me. I noticed it right away when I got into the train, people where staring at me. Those glances continued when we were in the city, men ánd woman looked and touched me like I was a whore or something. I knew why they did that, and stupid of me that I hadn't think about it in the morning: I wore shorts and a top -just like every other tourist in a country where it is 30 degrees-, but because the population there is islamitic they don't think it's appropriate to wear clothes in which your shoulders and knees are uncovered. So the whole day I feel a bit intimidated, but it didn't stop me for taking pictures of the city.
