A Tunisian birthday getaway

It has become a bit of a tradition that my mother and I go away on holiday for my birthday in early March. This year we decided to go to Tunisia. Considering my blog is about food and fashion around Edinburgh, I was in two minds about doing a photo post about my holiday. But given the tragic shooting which occurred in Tunis a few days after our return, I thought it would be a nice idea to depict the beauty spots of Tunisia's coastal resort area. One blog post can't heal a country, but we had a lovely time and I'd like to share it with you in an attempt to show Tunisia is so worth a visit. We stayed in the Sahara Beach Hotel in Skanes, which is in the Monastir/Sousse area.

Enjoy.
