We have bought the permit to Tunis three days before flying away, but I have already known that I want to visit. The well-known phrase: “Carthage should be destroyed“ has defined one of places for visiting (main thing). Time for gathering is not enough, but I have familiarized with history of Karfogen, that has considerably strengthened impression of the seen.... More
