Connection
We knew only a few of our fellow travelers and yet it was a day spent exploring with friends. The team was warm and friendly. The trip agends was well planned, and offered a unique experience to explore tunisia off the beaten path. The food was benina (and plenty) and the events well spaced so that we could enjoy the moment. The handicrafts and cave exploration were highlights. I would say the caving was underground and included tight spaces to crawl through. A warning to fellow claustophobes:)
