All these empty kebab shops are probably doing home deliveries.



If you think Accy is overrun with taxis you want to try Tunisia! It's hilarious in the major towns and tourist areas. If you walk along the pavement a taxi will pull up alongside and the driver ask "Taxi? You want taxi?" - even if it means them crossing over to the wrong side of the road they do it! You say "No thank you, I'm not going far" and they look at you like you're mad and still insist you need a taxi. Try telling hem you are actually out for a walk because you enjoy walking and they're convinced you should be admitted to the local mental asylum. One day in Sousse we'd only just got out of a taxi at the medina as we were going to do a bit of shopping and another taxi immediately drew up and offered to take us somewhere! The driver must have seen us getting out of the previous one!! Er, no thank you. We've only just arrived! The only place you're safe from them is inside the medina where cars cannot go - but then you have to fight off the people trying to sell you tortoises or 'very rare' imitation Roman artefacts.
