Dernier jour de visites- le 21 avril

Today, we went to Sidi Bou Said. This city was really magnifique! I loved it! The houses are painted in white and blue, just like a lot of the homes along the Mediterranean or like in Greece. It was also a town built into a hill. We walked to the top of the hill and we could see the entire city from up there- it was a gorgeous view!

The guide told us that the city is one of the richest in the area. The guide told us that the homes there can cost around a million dollars. I never would have thought that this type of city would exist in Tunisia. We didn't see too many ostentatious things there, and that was unlike Aix...

In Sidi Bou Said, we bought some more things in the souk, as well. There, it was a little harder to bargain because there were so many tourists... As for me, I tried to do my best to buy souvenirs for my family. There were a lot more things at the souk than at the other one, but they costs a little more.

After having shopped for HOURS, we went to the hookah bar while waiting to go to the museum of costumes. In the hookah bar, it was really nice because everyone was sitting and talking quietly- even the guide sat and talked with us. That was really nice because we got to know him a little better. Then, instead of going to the museum, we decided to stay at the hookah bar and relax a little bit- it was a wonderful idea! And then we went back to the hotel.
