Djerba, Tunisia

a nice surprise card I received from Anne from her trip to Tunisia

it says, 'a corner of paradise'...and markets like this certainly are...mhhm all those colours and different smells and textures...so beautiful! Last time i had seen a market like this was when I went to Turkey last summer...and it was actually very very near our hotel...and so full of fruits and spices and nuts and all...a joy for all senses!
Hmm, I really should visit Tunisia...at least it is still one of those countries for which I do not need a visa to go to

the stamp is from a set of 4 issued in 2013, representing famous Tunisians (here you can see Taher Cheriaa, who was a Tunisian film critic and the founder of the Carthage Film Festival in 1966).

Thank you again Anne for the lovely surprise!!

Djerba, Tunisia

Tunisia....one of the top destinations for Macedonians during summer, yet a place I still havent visited...If im like, served the chance on a plate to go there, I surely will...but personally, not attracted to it...you know that such hot desert places do not feel the most appealing to me

I got this card from Tanja who spent her holidays there last summer...Djerba is actually the largest island off North Africa off the coast of Tunisia. It is one of the few remaining places where the Berber language is still spoken, while another thing that attracts the tourists here is& the 1977 location of the Mos Eisley exterior scenes in the first Star Wars movie, filmed in the town of Ajim.
Here comes a (shameful) admission....havent really watched Star Wars...maybe just a few bits and pieces....well, I know it's an epic movie and like a must-watch but im just not really attracted to such movies....

The stamp is from 2005 from a set of 4 stamps showing Medicinal Plants. This one here is Mint.
