Day 2 - Dougga and Le Kef




One of the mosques in Le Kef


The French part of the fort is not in good repair. This part dates back to the 19th century








The fort at Le Kef near the Algerian border





The only Punic relic at Dougga. This monument was knocked down by the English in the 19th Century to take the inscriptions away to the British Museum. Another triumph for civilisation.






The rubble was rebuilt by the French during their occupation






Rita & Norman with Alec enjoy a well deserved sit down































The forum in Dougga
























The Capitol building in Dougga













Various pictures in and around the roman amphitheatre at Dougga



























































Pomegranates are grown everywhere in Tunisia. As the new superfood will these poor farmers soon be super rich?









































The town of Testour founded by Muslims expelled from Spain in the 17th century
