POTD 29 March 2006: Royal Beach Hotel

We touched down in Tunisia this afternoon and transferred to the Royal Beach hotel, just outside Sousse. The hotel is ‘right on the beach’, we are fortunate enough to have one of the rooms with a sea view. Bright blue skies and sunshine. Just the welcome we wanted.

This was the first view we got of our hotel in Sousse. Yes it does appear to be in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by beach. That's the power of photography for you - I chose a wide angle lens to emphasie the foreground and very carefully framed the building to the right just out of shot. Also you can't see all the buildings which are just behind the camera.

2015 Update - Although I have not been back to Tunisia, friends who visited a couple of years after us, told us that the space in the foreground is now a new hotel.
