We had a great quick trip to Monastir the weekend of April 22! The booking was with Iberostar Kuniat Palace, and we decided to do a half-board, which included dinner and breakfast. The drive from Tunis was 2 hours, and we decided to do some sightseeing first downtown, including the Ribat, and driving to the Port area. We also had lunch on the way to the resort at Costa Cafe, and the view of the Gulf of Hammamet was spectacular. Our check-in wasn’t until 2 PM, so we relaxed for an hour before going to our room with a sea view. I took a short nap and then hung out in the lobby for an hour, drinking wine and playing Pokemon with Aiden. Dinner was good, and we even saw a lovely sunset. After dinner, we went to the room and slept until around 9:30 (we are old!). Breakfast was great, and we then went to the Mauselome, where the first president of Tunisia was buried (Bourghabi). I walked around the medina and then did a nice walk on a cliff to get a more excellent sea view! Drove straight back to Tunis and arrived around 2:30! Very memorable, and I like Monastir more than Sousse since it’s less crowded and the water is emerald and turquoise!
