Our original plan was to head off for the ferry (which costs less than \u20ac5!) then make our way north on the mainland to Gabes. But as with the best laid plans, we took a route across Jerba and down its west coast and stopped. This must be what the east coast was like before all the hotels were built. So we&#8217;re now at a great\u00a0wild camping spot right next to the beach (N33.83925 E10.74986). A little way along the shore a few fishing boats are tied to the rocks to stop them floating away &#8211; other than that, we&#8217;re alone.<\/p>\n<p>Last night we continued our culinary carrot challenge. We bought shed loads of them at the market in Houmt Souk and are now Forrest Gump like (boiled shrimp, fried shrimp) having them with everything. So far we&#8217;ve had chicken couscous with carrot, potato and carrot mash and then honeyed carrot soup (thank you BBC recipes!) &#8211; it was really nice, even if I had put a tad too much chilli in it, but a touch of cream calmed it down and along with the home made garlic bread we were happily full. We&#8217;ll be able to see in the dark soon.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8426\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04041-1024x682.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8426\" class=\"wp-image-8426 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04041-1024x682-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Charlie can't even wait for us to open his new Tunisian dog food\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04041-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04041-1024x682-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8426\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Charlie can&#8217;t even wait for us to open his new Tunisian dog food<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This morning the cloud let out a little bit of rain, which helped to ease us from our resting spot in Aghir. After a five minute maths lesson with the campsite manager who was trying to undercharge us, we filled up with water and took on an extra passenger. The night security guard had just finished his shift and lives in Midoun, six kilometres away, we were passing that way so he hopped on board. He seemed nervous to be getting into our &#8216;house on wheels&#8217;, it&#8217;s the done thing to remove your shoes around here when getting into a normal house, then he saw Charlie. Charlie sensed nerves, or something and went nuts. I&#8217;ve never seen him bark like that at anyone (except when our friend Mac used to visit!) and the poor security guard looked set to bolt. I grabbed the snarling fur ball and held onto him, ushering the guard into the safety of the passenger seat.<\/p>\n<p>On our short drive we established that a football match with Manchester United the other night was good and there is something to see not far from where he lives! When it was time for him to jump out, he looked nervously round, so I wrapped Charlie&#8217;s bed over the top of him so the security guard could escape un-barked-at. We often joke at what a useless guard dog Charlie would be, but here where people are generally afraid of dogs he might just make the grade!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8430\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/clothes-1024x296.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8430\" class=\"wp-image-8430 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/clothes-1024x296-1024x296.jpg\" alt=\"People watching as we drive along\" width=\"620\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/clothes-1024x296.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/clothes-1024x296-300x87.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8430\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">People watching as we drive along<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As we drove across the island I did my best to navigate while photographing various sights &#8211; but it&#8217;s tricky, I get transfixed by the people stood at the side of the road, and even more so by the people on mopeds.

Under the rocks hide crabs, many of them. Charlie loves crabs, but has only really encountered dead ones before. Scrabbling at a rock that he sensed has something good to munch under it, Jay helped by moving the rock for him only for a crab to make a run for it. Charlie pursued and got the little\u00a0crustacean\u00a0in his mouth before triumphantly trotting off to munch his prey. A few seconds later a yelp is emitted from the fur ball &#8211; the crab is dropped and scuttles off. Undeterred Charlie tries to find his attacker, but with no luck &#8211; probably a good job as he could lose his nose to one of these things, they aren&#8217;t small!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8424\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04026-1024x768.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8424\" class=\"wp-image-8424 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04026-1024x768-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Fishing boats on the beach\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04026-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04026-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04026-1024x768-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04026-1024x768-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8424\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fishing boats on the beach<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_8423\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04035-1024x768.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8423\" class=\"wp-image-8423 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04035-1024x768-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Octopus pots stacked up waiting to be used, there are loads more buried in the sand.\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04035-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04035-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04035-1024x768-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04035-1024x768-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8423\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Octopus pots stacked up waiting to be used, there are loads more buried in the sand.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This afternoon I had a lovely nap looking out at the sea while Jay did some work. Then as the sun set we both headed out onto the sand dune in front of us and watched it set fire to the sea. The small blue fishing boats were being rowed back to shore and cast a\u00a0silhouette\u00a0in front of the display. We haven&#8217;t seen a sun set over the sea for ages &#8211; we&#8217;ve been facing east quite a lot &#8211; I&#8217;d forgotten how much I love them. To make it even more romantic, a tractor pulled up alongside us and three blokes got out and started shovelling sand into its trailer &#8211; well it is still Tunisia!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8431\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04067-1024x308.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8431\" class=\"wp-image-8431 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04067-1024x308-1024x308.jpg\" alt=\"Jerba sunset from our dune\" width=\"620\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04067-1024x308.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04067-1024x308-300x90.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8431\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jerba sunset from our dune<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_8429\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04056-1024x628.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8429\" class=\"wp-image-8429 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04056-1024x628-1024x628.jpg\" alt=\"Happy St. Valentine's Day!\" width=\"620\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04056-1024x628.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSC04056-1024x628-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8429\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Happy St. Valentine&#8217;s Day!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Back in Dave Jay prepared us a feast.
