Carthage and Sid Bou Said

On another day trip from Tunis, I explored the ancient sites of Carthage, mainly the magnificent Antoinine Thermal baths, and visited the posh neighborhood of Sid Bou Said. The thermal baths are very impressive even though the only part that still stands is a reconstructed pillar of the main space, and the supports of the cellar level. The immense size of the space is awe inspiring in its present form, but I would love to have seen it in the constructed form of its day. Sid Bou Said was unfortunately crammed with tourists but was a nice neighborhood nonetheless – the doors there are amazing. The next morning I was out and early on a flight back to Rome! This was indeed a quick tour of Tunisia, as I am sure there are many amazing things left to be seen.
