A wonderful week in Tunisia

We have really had a wonderful and exciting week in Tunisia. Firstly, it is really nice to experience sun, heat and light this time of year! Secondly, it has been interesting to discover a completely new country for us, with everything from ancient antiquities to camel rides and filming locations for Star Wars.

By the way, in connection with the pictures below, we were asked if you have to wear headgear in Tunisia, and the answer to that question is nixpix. We bought these one day because it is perfect to be able to protect your face from swirling sand when riding a quad bike. And then maybe we thought it was little stylish too, haha.

Travelling with or without a motorhome ... or both?

We received a comment from a reader who wrote that she misses our focus on motorhomes and camping. We promise that we not has left it, but as usual we alternate motorhome trips with other trips. It would have been very exciting to take the campervan to Tunisia, but it's a project that requires much more time (i.e. longer time off work), so that's for another time.

We took the opportunity to check out a (very nice and well maintained!) campsite in Douz, with all the services you need. In addition, we looked up a list over several campsites in Tunisia.

Covid test (how complicated can it be?)

At the end of the Tunisia trip, I (Helena) started to feel a cold. My symptoms were mild (and I am fully vaccinated against covid-19) but in these times it still feels annoying to have the slightest tendency to catch a cold. When we got home, I wanted to get tested. But phew, how complicated it was!

I used Region Stockholm's app "Alltid Öppet" and 1177 and managed (after much effort and trouble) to book a test to be picked up at a pharmacy at a certain time. Peter (who had no symptoms) collected the test, I registered it online and followed all the instructions, but realised that there was no fluid in the test tube.

Back at the pharmacy, they found that they had missed the liquid, and that the test had to be thrown away... We got a new test and I repeated the whole procedure, but now suddenly the test could not be registered because my original booking was "cancelled". It was also not possible to make a new booking, because all the times that week were... gone! Even test number 2 had to be thrown away, and the pharmacy could only apologise ...

What now? The solution was to buy a home test for SEK 80 and do the procedure a third time. The result was: negative, i.e. no covid-19. So, Happy Friday!

Best this week

The best thing this week is of course the wonderful trip to Tunisia, what else? What can you highlight as positive from your week?

The week ahead

For the next week we plan to hang out at home in the houseboat. There will be a lot of work, meetings and events, so it feels like an exciting week. Then we plan to take the motorhome for a drive. We will stay within Sweden, and it will probably be the last motorhome trip this year. More about that later! On the blog there will first be some more reports from Tunisia!
