The hotel was so luxurious, the best part being the breakfast on the house. We had perfect weather, although a little coolish after the sun went down.
As soon as we arrived we had a quick shower and headed downstairs to get a cab. A few dinars later we were in the town centre buying the greatest baguette sandwiches in a little ally full of locals and stray cats. Then it was back in the cab and heading up to Sidi Bou Said to watch the sunset and eat our baguettes.
Here's Mehdi outside one of the many small shops at Sidi Bou Said selling locally made crafts. Mostly Leather, ceramics and textiles. You can get some beautiful artifacts, but you need to keep a critical eye out for authenticity and dont forget your bartering skills, its apart of the local culture.
The view from the top of Sidi Bou Said:

After a little bit of shopping we jumped into another taxi and headed to Mehdi's Aunty's house to meet up with the family and have an unbeatable home cooked meal. It was so nice to catch up with everyone. We headed home laden with food and gifts, some to courier back to belgium.
