Tunisia In December

[NetwkSupport]

Anyone been here in December?? I would like toknow what the weather is typically like? Does it pee down with rain?

It is variable.

Generally about 15 - 20 deg c, but one year I went it was so cold the locals were dressed for Siberia (it was actaully still warm by UK standards).

Expect some cloud and maybe the odd downpour, but it is very dry, so rain shouldn't be problem.

More of a problem is the fact that the place is SO DULL and BORING.

Agreed. Duller than Malta, and that's saying something.

Some friends have just returned (yesterday) they said it was the crapest place they'd ever been, and they live in Croydon

When I was still a permie (several years ago) I went there and was so bored after 2 days I called my office and got them to send work for me to do.

Utterly, utterly sh!t.

I hope that the featureless, frozen wastelands you'll be trudging across for months on end have decent broadband access points, then.

C'mon, it's not months on end. It's weeks.

Plus, I've got other things to worry about up there. Like, not dying.

Weeks: You hope! Try not to focus on dying. Even though it's a racing cert.:
Polar Bears.
Alien creatures, like in John Carpenter's "The Thing".
Being frozen solid.
Forgetting to pack your sandwiches & starving to death.
Forgetting to pack your compass & getting lost.
Gigantic, flesh-eating snowmen (maybe not, actually).

Anyway, good luck!
