A holiday in Tunisia seemed just what I needed

A getaway to see places new and feel the sun on my back

All the jabs recommended were done my secret stash of cash was raided

And then Tunisia here we come via Gatwick almost the worst part of the journey

Eventually, we took off and I settled in for the flight, not something I enjoy

As we approached the airport, I could see the runway through the cockpit window

I could also see the stewardess sitting on the arm of the pilot’s seat

We had dived down like a Stuka on a bombing run and overshot the runway

He went round again and this time he managed to land to the detriment of my ears

I was relieved to be on the ground but the pain in my ears was quite severe

One of the other passengers asked if I had seen what happened as he was going to report it

Apparently, the CAA don’t like stewardesses sitting on the pilot’s chair arm when landing

Eventually, after a bus ride, we arrived at the hotel which was almost on the beach

Time for a wander round to get the lie of the land and find the bar and restaurant

Never having travelled much it was all very interesting and not as warm in the evening as expected

We also found out where all the MOT failures end up and become taxis

The next day a trip to the local town was an eyeopener the poverty and police with rifles

People selling individual cigarettes children running up to beg for money

The Arab that accosted us to buy my girlfriend I should have taken the money he would be sorry

Back to the hotel in another wrecked Peugeot at least they weren’t expensive

To be continued
