Tunisia: Nabeul, Cap Bon

Our first stop in the discovery of Cap Bon, Tunis, and the Central West and the Tell starts in Nebeul. 

Cap Bon was controlled by Carthaginian in the early 5th century BC, and Romans called this rich agricultural region Pulchri Promontorium - the 'beautiful peninsula'- and settled in.  Nebeul is known to be the Tunisia's biggest ceramic town, and also known for the white sand beach.  Although it is quiet during winter time, we enjoyed the beach and the market with some artisans selling brass, leather, ceramics and some jewellery.

Another narrow maze-like streets at a market place in Nebeul.

Léo playing with his Ripstick, passing through a garden filled with cactus and palm trees at the hotel by the beach.  Those purple fruits on cactus are sold at the market, but we haven't tasted them yet. 

Open toes enjoying some sun at the white sand beach.

Nap time at work.  A beautiful cat looking so elegant and comfy in a ceramic bowl at the market. 

At our hotel gate.

Laïyane standing next to the door for children at our hotel.  This typical Tunisian door has a small door for kids only.
