Route de la Goulette, an express way built on top of a Roman-era dam over the lake of Tunis, which connects Tunis to the harbour
|
| We set off from Tunis Nord and it would take a while before we reached Carthage. You could see the place was so big that there were 5 train stations
|
| Le Bac, a very small station on the way... it was simple but clean
|
| The door of our moving train, do you know what's wrong with it?
|
|

|
|
Besides not properly shut, there were no glasses and this boy just taught us a lesson you could stick youself outside the window of a moving train
|
| This is our TGM train, I must say it wasn't very modern nor comfortable
|
| There are a few stations in Carthage, we got off at Carthage Hannibal. Oh the station
|
| To get from one platform to another, you basically just cross the track... good luck mate!

This is how Carthage looked like 2000 years ago
|
| We decided to walk all the way up to Byrsa Hill first. This is a local bus
|
| This area is now populated by luxury mansions and embassies...
|
| Built on the site of the Carthage acropolis, the Carthage National Museum contains the largest collection of objects from the site of Carthage and covers the Phoenician-Punic, the Roman-African and the Arab-Moslem periods.
