Hi Roulla 'there were not even doors on the train' ?? sorry what train did you go on here in Tunisia?

Ive travelled a lot on trains like I said before the main trains and the little ones to get from village to village etc and every train I have been on has had doors often you need to be a muscle man to close them but seriously Roulla there are doors on trains!!! and curtains to block the sun.

Also the trains I have been on from Tunis - Sousse also have air conditioning and often a moody chap walking through with sandwiches etc. I know Tunisia is a little behind but really were not in 60's!!

HI KELLY YES THE TRAIN THAT WE CAUGHT FROM NABEUL TO TUNIS DID NOT HAVE DOORS IN THE COMPARTMENT WHERE WE WAS, WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT IT WAS SO HOT THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT STAY OPEN AS THEY WERE DOWDY SO I HAD TO PLACE A BOTTLE SO THAT THE WINDOW WOULD STAY OPEN SO WE COULD GET FRESH AIR

Well Ive only used the trains from Tunis - Sousse and never have I experienced this where they have no doors!!! Ive travelled in heat before and its not the nicest of journeys, but the trains from Sousse - Tunis and vice versa are much more equipped than the local trains as I said before the local trains are not nice but the train had air conditioning or some kind of cold air coming through as I remember clearly everyone fighting to stand under it! If you think that was bad try travelling from Borj Cedria to Megrine on their local trains then you will see dowdy lol

Hi Kelly

talking about trains there was this old fashioned arabic lady on the train and we was travelling back from sousse, packed train no where to sit.
Anyway this old lady had beads in her hands, she did not stop looking at me at the same time she was chanting (only god knows what ) so i kept tapping my feet on the floor hoping that she would stop chanting but instead her chanting got louder so i thought ok, i started to tap my feet louder and then make these really weird jargle talk, tell you what she looked like a witch, my family though that the hour or more journey was a right laugh, the witch must of done something as i was sick the next day.

well I might be stupid but as she was holding beads she was probably praying?
