I went to Hammamet on holiday 40 years ago, with my then girlfriend.
It was brilliant then - not sure what it is like now.

I almost sold my girlfriend for 12 camels and a packet of cigarettes. I was sorely tempted to set up business taking holiday makers on trips with my camels. However, she got upset and I wilted and didn't do it (sell her that is).
We went on a camel trip to the Bedouin Village and we got married Bedouin Style. Glad it wasn't legal, cause we split up 6 months after that :-)

We visited the village of Hammamet inside the fortress. Whilst we were walking along a narrow alley, this young girl came up to us and started saying, Bobby Charlton, Bobby Charlton etc etc. Then she said and signed that I could have it off with her sister for a small amount of money. My girlfriend wouldn't let me - don't know why :-)

Beaches and the hotels were brilliant at that time. They were also very honest as well. I think they used to chop their hands off for stealing.

The only thing that wasn't good, was the stink eminating from around the airport.
