Groceries

Mar 12
Our mission today was to find the playground -- it turned out to be quite sad. And to find a better grocery store. We visited all three and the selection of food was somewhat depressing. We got fruit and veggies from a specialized store but we are a bit afraid to visit a butcher.

However the town seems nice enough. As expected there are quite a few other tourists but they stick to “their” areas in town.

Jerba Playground

Teeter-totter made of car parts

Spiral slide that's seen better days

Horse on see-saw that can't see

Merry-go-round that isn't so merry

Beached boat meets stadium

Tied up fishing boat

Slimy rope

Octopus pots, I think

Raised Arabic text -- no idea what it says

A huge buoy washed up on the beach

The wine store at the Club Bravo Hotel. Mostly Tunisian wine. In a Muslim country.

A display in a museum about local customs. Here the bride-to-be undergoes hair removal (with sugar and lemon) getting ready for the big day. Ouch.

Detail of Guellela museum exterior

Also in the Guellela museum, a real (!) camel demonstrates the traditional way to grind olives into paste. I'm sure you noticed the beams of light.
