Golfing in Citrus Complex

LA Foret course is a super layout of 18 holes of champoinship standard. We like to play here.

The 18th tee box, looking across another lake to the clubhouse.

What a large Aloe Vera plant! Africa has a great variety of unusual flora and fauna. Luckily, there are no tigers here!

Over the coots and across the lake to the eighth green.

The eight hole, par 4, is tricky, with a narrow fairway running alongside two large lakes.

Cheers! A cafe au lait on the edge of the Med.

This little beach, with the fishing boats, is in front of the town centre.

These are the walls of the old town, the Medina.

Hammamet is an ancient, walled town on the sea front of Hammamet Bay.

The hotel is the white buildings behind me as we walk along the beach to the old town of Hammamet. Its about a 30 minute stroll....

Our room is the first of theseon the left, so close to the beach as you can see.

Room 541 is in teh left corner in this photo. It is very quiet with only the sounds of the waves on the beach and the birds singing to be heard.

Hotel Bel Azur has extensive gardens which reach to the sea front and the beach.

The deck overlooking the Meditaerannean. Our room is in the garden to my left. Room 541.

My New Wheels

This is my new Fiat Punto. Its a lovely car to drive. Slightly longer and narrower than the previous model, it has remote controlled locking and electric windows. What luxury! The boot just about holds the golf clubs though! Its a dark blue colour - looks black in these photos.
