Vincent Poon :: Episode IV - Really need a New Hope!
 
The first day of our 3d 2n desert safari tour. We departed from Sousse in the north, went southwest through the holy city of Kaiouran, passed the mountain oases of Chebika and Tamerza, and finally crossed the salt lake to Nefta. 
 
Unfortunately things started to go badly with the 2 hour delay of the other tour group, the unusual desert heat (40C), the disappointment of the waterfall and finally got lost in the middle of nowhere... we survived at the end but we missed out three key sights, one was where Star Wars was filmed and was one of the main reasons I took this trip...

...and soon the fun was over when we discovered we were lost in the middle of the salt lake! The sun has set and we were alone... time was against us!
This was the salt lake (Chott el Gharsa), as you could see there were no "shores" visible!
Luckily the driver followed the tyre tracks and found this place (Mos Espa) It was 7 at night... everything was dark..
This place was one of the best preserved star wars shooting site... too bad everything was dark here... time to turn to the dark side?

After the other car had arrived we went back to the hotel in Nefta. This was our room
The room looked ok, if only the aircon could be more powerful I didn't have to sweat the whole night...
Toilet, basic but at least the shower worked this time
well, this could be worse

Why do we get two TVs if neither of them were not working?
The only thing that looked nice was this lamp shade...
This was dinner, buffet style... yes those looked like chicken and pasta were indeed chicken and pasta... by then we just wanted to be fed and go to sleep early
