The walkway along the beach is lovely - wide decorated paving with plenty of room for several people walking abreast, with a huge stretch of fine sand beach and the Mediterranean on the east and the Corniche, with small cars, taxis and (patronised by tourists only) horse drawn calèches decorated with plastic flowers. There's also a little story-book "train" which will take people up to the Port El Kantaoui hotels just north of Sousse. In summer the beaches must be full but now there's plenty of space and the woven coconut matting beach umbrellas are left unattended, though mostly there are no sun loungers either - it's bring your own towel. Certainly warm enough, though. Every day it's been over 20in the shade and much warmer in the sun. There are a couple of families here with small children today, and one day we saw a diver emerge with a water-shiny octopus.
There's a rather different range of juices here. Thus we find, amongst the fruit concentrates, a cloudy lemon and almond mixture which proves delicious mixed with either water or vodka.
