Tozeur

Yesterday was a long day. After the Aerobar, I went back to the domestic area. I could have finished my wine, but I sat at a little coffee place so I could have a chair. People just crowd around way too close. Again there were screaming children and we were delayed an hour. The flight was 2 hours with a very short layover after 35 minutes in Dejerba, a small island off the coast. My seat was the very last row, it felt like the old smoking section days.

I found a taxi, and he drove me to Mora Sahara Resort. It was dark but you could see that it was a beautiful property.

These 747 are from Iraq waiting 30+ years to be reclaimed

My room was a beautiful suite with a desert view.

I could show more photos but after one night I had to complain. No AC. It was so hot.

I ate dinner in the Asian restaurant. It was pretty good

What drew me to stay here, a bar and restaurant by the pool but alas no service

I really didn’t think I was that picky but no AC in the desert! The high yesterday was 78. They suggested I leave the doors open. At night, I don’t think so!

I ate a little breakfast and had decided today would be just relax by the pool and read. After I finished the book, “The Alchemist,” which I have read before, I knew I needed to book a tour to the Oasis’s. But then decided I better see the salt flats too. I was able to book today at sunset.

Aziz was my guide. He was a very spirited fun guide. He tried to scare me with his driving but he has never met my brother, but some mom reminded me of rolling backwards in. Bronco in High-school with eight of us in the vehicle and no one was hurt. He drove through the salt fields and dunes. Stopped by some camels and one of the sets for Star Wars. I ate some bread that was cooked in the ash.
