Images of Carthage with modern Tunis in the distant background. Carthage is on the left as you go out to Sidi-Bou-Said, the place with the doors for the tourists amongst us. The mosaic is from a Cartheginian tomb and to my mind, rivals anything that Rome produced. And yes, the Christians managed (the French actually when Tunisia was a French colony, its not just the British who had designs on world domination) to build a Cathedral on Byrsa Hill in Carthage without paying any respect to the Cartheginian and Tunisian heritage. Shame on us all. Had an idea, what about a photographic holiday in Tunisia, similar to what we're costing out for Malta? Get in touch
