Tunisia - Day 4 Paragliding and Jet Bike Fun

Day 4 was spent mostly just chilling on the resort. After lunch Joshua went out on a jet bike for a 15 min spin whilst me and Holly went and did some paragliding along the beach. The jet bike was much more affordable than Bulgaria so it was nice to be able to say "yes" nd let Josh have a go. For some reason branded didn't fancy that.

The paragliding was good fun and it was nice for me to go up with Holly as I missed out on this in Bulgaria last year. Unfortunately we didn't seem to be up there too long but we did get a spectacular view of the coast line of Sousse and our hotel. I had to trust Holly holding the Dad-cam to take the aerial pictures as I had to control the chute guide ropes in order to land us back on the beach. 

On the beach me and Josh spent the afternoon catching these tiny little jelly fish. We ended up filling about 3 cups of which Holly was making a little exhibit on the beach. Back in the pool area the entertainment staff set up a body board game where you stood up on a body board and then after about 15ft had to jump over a rope and land back on the body board. Holly only went and nailed it first time!

Doesn't look much but my standard breakfast became an omelet and a couple of croissants with jam.

Holly enjoying some eggs on toast for breakfast.

Holly enjoying staying cool in the pool.

Holly was more than confident in swimming up to the pool bar and ordering herself a drink.

Sitting at the pool bar in the shade.

The view back on our hotel from the pool bar, shows how big the pool was.

A glass of the strong stuff, water with ice!

Not quite grasped the concept of which way to lay on the pool loungers.

Trying to teach Holly the overhead kick in the pool.

She managed to get it in the end and tonked a few people in the pool with the ball!

Me and Josh were using these sticks to catch tony little jelly fish.

Holly was collecting them in a cup to show off on the beach.

Holly fearless and certainly not afraid of heights.

Last minute instructions on what to pull to land!

Up we go.....

Feet are off the ground.

And we are up.

Getting higher.

Beautiful clear blue skies for great visibility.

The cameraman on the beach got some great pictures of us.

Our paraglider had Tunisia written on the back.

We got pretty high up despite not being out for long.

That is our hotel all the way down there.

Great picture of our hotel that Holly captured from the paraglider.

Meanwhile Joshua was finishing up on his jet bike experience.

Now he wants one of these with a quad bike as well!

Waiting for the restaurant to open for dinner and keeping cool in reception where the ac and wi-fi were very good indeed.

Me and wifey dressed up for dinner. Loving my cheap little Temu short and shirt set.
