Sunday


Last day of bike route to Tunisia, Sousse along the coast to the Cap Bon in Tunisia and then direct capital.



Continue route out of Sousse is densely populated by road are lots of stalls, petrol, fruit ... until all are safe.
There are many mosques everywhere with a variety of minarets of all kinds.



Around noon we arrive at Cap Bon, the views are spectacular.



It is a lighthouse where there are military installations, one military will step bar and tells us where we parked the bikes. Accompanies us to visit a rusty iron cannon while he explains that he and his gun were the Bardo museum the day of the attacks, is photographed with us all happy.



We stopped for lunch, lamb.



In the afternoon we reached Tunis, the first place we recognize is that of 14 January 2011, symbol of the Tunisian revolution.



Once out on the street surprisingly strong security measures that are in some buildings.



But today we party, we take the bike and find a bar near the hotel where they sell .

Monday


Today we have the whole day to visit the capital Tunis
Take the tram in Barcelona which will take place at the Museum of Bardo, we have the bad luck that the museum closed Mondays.



Walk back towards the Medina and access to the north. We dedicate the morning to surround the Medina, do shopping in the afternoon and evening for the family last dinner in Tunisia this end.

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
