Tunis 4 - Hamamat

We left around noon for the resort town of Hamamat. The drive was pleasant and we passed by beautiful scenery. Ahmedi napped through all the drive and Azoz… well I just have to be thankful he didn't jump from the window. The town of Hamamat, is filled with hotel resorts, parks, cafes, restaurants and night clubs. It all depends on how you want to spend your time there. On a previous trip few years ago, we did a lot of things. This trip I have the children with me so some entertainment areas were off limits. My brother in law booked us in Abou Nawas Hamamat. A resort build in the late sixties, I think, and it stayed just as it is since then. It was like walking into the past. It wasn't that bad I kept an open mind and tried not to compare it to other resorts I've been to in the past. As long as the kids were having fun nothing really mattered. My friends ask me about the weather, and I told them it was around 31c but a beautiful cool breeze blew from the sea, and it is like spring compared to our weather. We divided our time between the beach and the pool, we'd order pizza for lunch, then I let them get out of the pool for snacks and a short nap, and in the evening we'd go out sightseeing and to dinner. The first evening we went to Al Madina. It is a mini fortress with a mini bazaar, cafes, restaurants and a casino inside of it. It was really crowded and there were a lot of tourists from Libya and Algeria, but I really liked it there. We had a light dinner of Corque Monsieur Sandwiches and ice cream for dessert. Since Hamada was already sleeping, Azoz and I walked around shopping in the mini bazaar. The next evening we went to Al Yasmine Marina, filled with restaurants and cafes, the weather was pleasant enough as long as I had my fan. We had dinner at Pomodoro, not the original one. I liked the way how they were all crowded next to one another. We had gelato after that and it was very good. The third evening we were too tired to go anywhere. I ordered pasta for the boys from room service for the kids and went to bed after that and I was looking forward for the next day. So stay tuned.
