Hi Marta
Lucky you! Tunisia has a very fond place in my memory, both because it's a lovely little country and because it marked the proper start of my overland trip in Feb 07. I took the ferry with CTN from Genoa to Tunis - the immigration/customs people were perfectly OK both on the ship and then at La Goulette.
I agree with your itinerary, but think you could probably not bother with Cap Bon unless you like oranges. You might also want to include Carthage while you're in Tunis (and make sure you have a coffee at Cafe Des Delices in Sidi Bou Said while you're there) the Roman ruins at Utica, just north of Tunis, and the Coober Pedy-like ones in Bulla Regia which are near Jendouba. While on the way from Bizerte towards Tabarka, see Ichkeul Nature Reserve. There's also another interesting dirt track you can do along the north coast towards Sidi El Mechrig. Have a look at the Tunisia section of my website - overlandcruiser.net
Finally, the Kroumiria mountains are the ones just south of Tabarka - I went walking in them (Ain Draham). They WILL be a bit snowy in Jan though!
Good luck, and give my love to Tunisia.
Mark
