It is my boyfriends 18th birthday on Sunday so I have arranged a surprise holiday to Tunisia...and we go on Wednesday the 14th June. However he doesnt know and therefore we cannot sort out exchanging money until This monday!!! I've heard that you cannot take Tunisian money into the country and therefore need to know how long it would take to get £300 of travellers cheques or if it would be easier to take English money and exchange it over there. Any comments on your trips to Tunisia would be great as well as its my first time there xx

Hello, I am going to Tunisia in a couple of weeks with my family and we will be staying in a hotel in Skanes which I believe is close to Monastir. Does anyone have any knowledge or advice about trips we could undertake from there? Having stayed in exactly the same hotel once before and stayed around Monastir/Sousse, we are eager to explore a lot further this time, but unfortunately a couple of members of the family can't be persuaded to stay anywhere else! Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi, In two weeks my friend and I are going to be staying in the Hotel Thalassa, Skanes, Monisir for a week. We're slightly concerned about getting hassled by blokes when going out and wondered if anyone has any experience/tips that might help us to avoid this. We've been told different things by different people so far, some say that as long as you cover up (don't draw too much attention) you get left alone, whilst others have said that women alone often get seriously sexually assaulted! Please advise if you can... Thankyou, Jess and Chantel
