    I`m off for another wander around France soon, a good few weeks traveling around and just as much chance of being in the wrong place at the wrong time there as here ! Iife is a risk and if scum bag terrorists stop you living it to the full then they win !
    Just take usual precautions and hope for the best, ive still got 6 of my 9 lives left <cheers>

    I'm sorry to hear that but I understand your decision.Have you been there before?
    I have travelled north Africa quite a bit through work and pleasure.The people are friendly,funny and just want to meet people of other countries.Of course they are out to make as much as they can out of people.That applies in every country in the world.
    Would it happen again in Tunisia?I'd say no,they made their hit and are on course to achieve what they set out to do.
    If they can stop tourism,which is what the people depend on then they stop the income of the people.This makes it easier to recruit with the lure of money,food for the families.
    I hope you and your family enjoy your holiday wherever you decide to go.May I suggest Croatia,fabulous.I'm going there (again) in 2 weeks time.

    It didn't happen in Blackpill though Dai, it did happen in a hotel I am going to. If it was just myself then I probably would go, I cant take my wife and son, it would not be a holiday, I would be spending all my time scouring the pool and the beach and I certainly don't want to be on a beach being patrolled by armed guards.

    I will go elsewhere, but I wont go to Tunisia, it is riddled with problems and should have had more sense than to book it in the first place. My bad there.

    try and avoid most muslim countries dude.......I went 2 crete instead of my Egyptian holiday the time it first kicked off with its revolution, yes the travel advisors still said it was ok but it isn't really worth the risk, not when you have young uns with you.

    Great beaches, good fishing, good pubs n grub, BBQ on some tidy camp sites and pools, plus great walks and water sports and lots more. Bonus when the sun shines. 2 Weeks not enough for me so im down there throughout the year .
