Magnifico Mediterranean Costa Cruises
Magnifico Mediterranean Costa Cruises19 years leading groups, this experience trumped all other moments of stress combined. This was a miracle as most ships don't wait and I had no plan B on how to get us from this port in northern Africa to Balearic Islands of Spain. With the ship blaring, the last one in our group made it within seconds to the rising of the gangway at 1:33pm. When our coach stopped outside the parking gates, we ran as if we were on fire.
Impossible. We were to board our ship at 1pm. En route back, heavy traffic delayed us, which put me on the verge of a nervous breakdown. We visited ancient Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, a mountain village by the sea and in the crowded souks of the Medina we bargained for treasures.
In Tunisia I arranged a private tour with a passionate guide named Amel who had just 5 hours to show us her beloved Tunis. Least favorite, Palermo Sicily. I heard the favorites however to be the Isle of Capri, ruins of Pompeii, glamorous Monte Carlo, charming Portofino and exotic Tunis. Most enjoyed Barcelona, Marseilles, Avignon, Sorrento and Mallorca.
