1° novembre
Questa mattina l’obbiettivo è il “Cafè du Desert” tappa d’obbligo per recarsi a Tembaine, ormai il paesaggio è quello tipico del deserto del Sahara e dopo aver percorso la pista che costeggia il parco nazionale del Djbil incontriamo i primi cordoni di dune da attraversare, fantastico!!!
Finalmente arriviamo a Tembaine, le due montagne piatte, meta dei viaggiatori sahariani, il posto è speciale, con le macchine le aggiriamo e cerchiamo un posto to do the camp, the evening promises to be magical!
The next morning we wake up and make us some company Mula Mula, sparrow-like bird: the Tuareg say it helps and good luck to find what was lost.
down the camp we head towards the mountain and climb to the top from where the panorama, 360 °, Moon!
November 2
Ksar Ghilane Towards the track is a mixture of Toul undulating dunes and small FECH fecha, are always was skeptical about driving in these situations, I have always liked the high-altitude alpine mule, but I must admit that driving up and down the sand dunes around them and take on small rhythm is pleasant and enjoyable.
Halfway make a short detour of about ten kilometers to visit a tented camp with a note guide Douz, we are greeted as always with a smile and give us the inevitable cup of tea.
shipped off again, the destination is the Roman fort which is located near Ksar Ghilane, we arrive the sun is setting, what a show! At that time, the colors take shades never seen before, we go with our cars up onto the hill where the fort and take some pictures of the ritual. Prepared The camp not far from the dunes, the moon lights up the night in an incredible way.
November 3 in the morning down the camp we head towards the oasis of Ksar Ghilane, we stop, and as we watch a couple of French tourists who bathe in thermal waters we drink barettino you to a face.
back into the car to head towards Chenini, Berber troglodyte village. The first 60 miles of track are a torture, Toul undulates so I never tried.
Chinini Unfortunately we get a bit late and we can not stop to visit the famous mosque that dominates the village, too bad.
continue con passo spedito verso la Foresta Pietrificata, in questa arida pianura circondata da montagne milioni di anni fa c’era una foresta lussureggiante oggi tutta l’area è disseminata di resti fossili di alberi di tutte le dimensioni, iniziamo la ricerca di quelli più interessanti da portarci a casa come ricordo, che bellissimo posto.
Ormai il viaggio volge al termine, ci godiamo l’ultimo bivacco.
4 novembre
Oggi dovremo affrontare quasi 500 chilometri di asfalto per arrivare fino a Sousse, piano piano stiamo risalendo e il paesaggio anche se si colora man mano green in my eyes it gets boring and monotonous.
arrived in the chaotic traffic of Sousse we headed to the hotel, finally after four days take a shower

It is now evening and we head towards the port under a torrential thunderstorm, we queued to dozens of cars to trucks also their return from the Sahara.
November 6
The day's sail to Genoa is an opportunity to make comments on the trip, was the first time I visited Tunisia and I must say it was nice.
First I thank the company of Alexander, Flaminia, Paul, Rosalba and Margaret who made that journey was pleasant and enjoyable.
places where we were I liked, some even spectacular, certainly we'd had more time we could do something more exhaustive, but I'm not complaining in fact I have an excuse to Tornaco, Tunisia is well worth more than one visit.
