Sfax with Xiyun

Next stop was Sfax. We stayed in a hotel in the center of the Medina aptly named the Medina Hotel. It cost us a whole 8 dinars for the two of us! That’s pretty insanely cheap! Of course there wasn’t a toilet in the room and the beds weren’t all that great, but it was inexpensive. The next morning we woke up and explored the Medina seeing many of the locations where such movies as The English Patient were shot.

Our hotel room had zero heat. Xiyun was freezing to death due to the lack of blankets in the room so I covered her with our coats. I slept in all of my clothes to stay warm.

All in all, I was favorably impressed with Sfax. I don’t know why Tunisians don’t like Sfax so much, but it is really a lovely place.
