Weekend Getaways & Pictures of Tunisia

I strongly believe in weekend getaways! Sometimes you need two or three days to do absolutely nothing and enjoy being somewhere else. These are not to be confused with vacations. A vacation is designed around the idea of three things: rest, exploring and having fun. A weekend getaway is designed around: doing nothing, rest and doing nothing!

Weekend getaways should be taken at least once every two to three months. These help to recharge your batteries and they give you something to look forward to in between your vacations.

If planned out in advance, weekend getaways can be relatively cheap. You can even find Last Minute cheap prices for the weekend. You don’t have to go far away or necessarily to a place you’ve never been before. Sometimes going to a place you already know is even more relaxing because you don’t have the temptation to spend your weekend exploring the area. Instead, you’ll take the time to stay by the pool and do nothing!

My most recent weekend getaway led me to Tunis Tunisia. Tunis is a very vibrant city in North Africa on the Mediterranean Sea. Normally when I go away, I try to plan out all the exciting things I want to see while I’m there. This weekend, I didn’t… Upon an early morning arrival in my hotel, I dropped off my bags and took a nice leisure walk around the city. At the Tourism office, I was informed of a number of great things to see in the city. However, after a little over an hour of walking around the city, I remembered why I came here. It wasn’t to sightsee, it was to rest! A great massage in a local hamam, a walk through the medina and a delicious lunch in a cozy restaurant was the extent of my visit to Tunis. My next major decision over the following two days was: should I stay at the pool or go to the beach?
