Enjoying a daylong urban hike through contemporary and historic Tunis for the first time since 2003.
The medina and souk in central Tunis haven’t changed much during the years but there are troops, police, tanks and razor wire on central streets and a sober memorial to the 21 tourists and one Tunisian killed during the terrorist attack at the Bardo Museum in 2015.
The memorial to the 22 people killed during a terrorist attack at the Bardo Museum in Tunis on March 18, 2015.
About Joel
Joel Stratte-McClure has been a global trekker since the 1970s. He lived in France for over 30 years, working as a journalist, before he turned his attention to a unique life-time-project of walking the shores of the Mediterranean. The first 4,401 kilometers are explored in his inspirational and entertaining first book "The Idiot and the Odyssey: Walking the Mediterranean." The next 4,401 kilometers are covered in the gods-filled sequel, "The Idiot and the Odyssey II: Myth, Madness and Magic on the Mediterranean,” published on Valentine's Day 2013. The last 4,401 kilometers will be discussed in the last book of the trilogy currently entitled "The Idiot and the Odyssey III: Alexander the Great Walks the Mediterranean."
