Spend a night in a boat on the whole quiet, except for Rocco and his big toe sick, goes on a journey at sea except for a small moment of crisis, passed thanks to the good advice of France and the company of the group. At 14 we in view of the Tunisian coast, but before it takes another hour to dock. In the hold of the ferry Bmwisti some Austrians want to photograph, there is also the Daihatsu Group, which had never seen wasps in deserto.La want to unleash the engines is so great, but so is the Tunisian bureaucracy, controls 5 for 5 sheets different, that's why all those stamps on the ship the day before. Fabrizio meet immediately after the exit of customs and greetings, the load of baggage, especially those of Gianluca, confirms that the day before there was a flood. We have to wade roads in a good 4 passing on the sidewalk. Finally we get on the highway and head towards Hamamet ... and it starts raining, the rain and you slip it away .. to Kairouan where we arrived at night around 20, we are all tired from having traveled with the advance the dark busy roads that pass us by coaches Tunisian ravvicinatissima distance. The hotel, however, is a spectacle of luxury and the fact that the wasps at the entrance to park is a source of pride for us. After a delightful dinner menu internationally, we grant an early tea with mint.

Monday 15 Ottobar King 2007

We got the spirit strengthened by sleep, including Rocco's foot improves and after a quick visit to the medina and suck of Kairouan relevant for the long transfer Touzer. We begin to walk very long straight, top to 10 km to which we are not used. luca has tied the Italian flag and a wasp riusquotiamo interest in all the countries in which we pass. the People greets us by calling us .. "Italian Italian ..." Moreover we are or we are not World Cup champions. The most sympathetic are the children, when we stopped for breaks, we literally attacked (so benevolent means ) perché suscitiamo curiosità .Facciamo anche la prima esperienza di Turismo fuori dagli schemi   canonici , mangiando   le brachette di montone cotte sul momento ( e meno male…)Scopriamo anche che con la nostra sosta abbiamo dato lavoro al macellaio , al negozio di alimentari , al panettiere e al fruttivendolo , per cui a quasi tutto il paese . Interessano molto anche la vespe e in modo particolare quella di Luca con la bandiera e quella di Rocco . Avvicinarsi al deserto è una sensazione unica , particolare , occorre viverla io non riesco a descriverla . Anche questo hotel è molto bello e stavolta approfittiamo della piscina per un buon bagno . Qui mangiamo quello che sarà il miglior cous cous Tunisino . Alla sera dopo cena gita con le vespe nel paese con sfida all’ultima frenata con i motorini locali

M artedi 16   ottobre 2007

Sveglia alle ore 7.25 fatta mettere da Fabrizio per la sua camera , ma interpretata per tutto il gruppo dal portiere dell’hotel. We look forward to another to go off-road in the desert. Wonderful experience to wander on the slopes of the dunes and, of course with experienced guides on the side. We come to the set of Star Wars where the photos are wasted and some gadgets to distribute these guys. then again jumps and bumps video with breathtaking views .. also some which ones fall between that of the most legendary Rocco. On the dunes meet the group re Daihatsu who complimented us on the road done. We arrive at the hotel, load the luggage on the Toyota and after some 200 meters we stopped for lunch in an outdoor area of \u200b\u200ba Roman transplanted in tunisia for love, that cooking a good pasta, but much more valuable is his coffee (only here .. mint tea). We leave for 80 km of straight across the salt lake of Chott el Jerid. Also aroused the curiosity of a helicopter that flew over us very low altitude. We can finally put the wheels in the sand wasps and feelings are special, sand and snow there is no difference of driving, if you fall here, however, does not get wet. Wonderful photos and arrival in Douz. after a ballet hotel to the village of Zafran, which desertification is eating. We find that the runway covered with sand wasps are not the best, we planted almost all, except for the past Valerio enduro . The hotel Sahara is not the maximum will be good for their cleaning standards but certainly does not pass this way. Dinner Evening with Gianluca which rocketed into the French term gele macaroni ... ....

After a quiet night for troubled for some others, again, we must unfortunately leave desert part of tunisia to start back to Tunis, where we hope to arrive Thursday evening. Now we have become accustomed to the landscape and also the greetings of the people we meet on the street The road is straight as we cross the pipeline with the track placed in the desert, we have a special meeting, the one with the "mythical Jelili" seeing that stop to take pictures (much to the + will be around the end of 4000) comes with mint tea and pastries to Dates greatly appreciated especially by Luke. We surprised an attitude so hospitable and selfless, so that after we took the bread, we decided to spiluccare something everyone. We see in his "bar" if you will call it, some written by other groups who have stopped there. Also we decide che è ora di lasciare un segno e staccato lo scudetto dalla Vespa di Valerio lo appiccichiamo alla parete scrivendo la data e la frase …” dalle colline alle Dune..”Motto del nostro viaggio . Ci lascia anche un bel ricordo l’incontro con la giovane e bella moglie e con il suo pargoletto .Si riprende ed il paesaggio cambia compaiono colline ed le casa troglodite nella roccia di mathmata . anche l’incontro con la famiglia nella casa di roccia lascia un segno nel nostro viaggio , una cosa per tutte l’espressione del bimbo felice di poter avere un passaggio sul fuoristrada di Fabrizio per andare a scuola . Dopo le colline che sembrano tenere lontano il cattivo tempo , ancora km dritti e trafficati con campi interminabili di ulivi . Questa volta ad un ora decente arrivamo a mahres . cittadina sul mare , che però è sporco e stagnante stile Camargue francese . il gruppo si divide alcuni si riposano altri vanno a scattare splendide fotografie in una baia a pochi km dall’Hotel Cena , passeggiata , niente thè   tutto chiuso ( che vita… ) e nanna ..

Giovedì 18 ottobre 2007

Lasciamo mahares , ormai convinti che il contatto con le desert dunes in recent days, it will be only a memory to tell or a stimulus to entice them to return. The goal is a better area of \u200b\u200bTunis or Tunis close to boarding the next day. Going there is a lot of traffic because the road is the only connection between the great port of Tunis and Libya . Lunch break is based do Brachetto lamb and fruit. Let's get back on the highway route that we had just arrived in Tunisia. photo stop at the Hamamet is a must, even if we are all very tired and tested now for almost 1300 km paths from the start. Perhaps it is also a thin veil of sadness at having to leave this earth that despite the marked difference in cultural and natural charms every where. Tunis = traffic, cars whizzing mad at breakneck speed to two inches from our mirrors, queues, again queue if there is a traffic policeman ago .... Well ...!

Two wasps have electrical problems, and remain senza fari , adattandosi per altro allo standard dei motorini tunisini , ma se per i locali non è un problema per noi si per cui il gruppo si stringe ancora di + intorno ai due malcapitati per impedire che vengano travolti da auto non proprio disciplinate . Finalmente Hotel dopo alcuni giri di avvicinamento che fanno alzare un poco l’arrabbiatura ma alla fine basta prenderla sul ridere e tutto passa .Cena in Hotel poi taxi per Tunisi centro con Acquisto di Cd nella via centrale e   indovinate.. the alla menta ( mi esce dalle orecchie , meno male che hanno la coca cola .. )

last day, after breakfast and made for the last time your luggage, you presents a dilemma. There are several requirements, visit Carthage, the market of Sidi Bou Said, a farewell lunch of fish to celebrate our adventure. The need arises from the flatness of the dinner the night before. Certainly, the hotel will not be reported in the tourist guides for both the restaurant and both rooms. We decide to classical culture (Cartagine..) And for culture of the people (lunch of fish ...). reached visit the ruins of Carthage City, Tunisia, led by a very prepared but with a statement of the very thoughts particular type printed book memorized. but we gladly endure and find out with our usual goliardia also .. "Vespaclub Carthage ..." and then in the vicinity of the port there is the restaurant that does for us personally approved by our gourmet responsible .. "Rocco .." with regard to food and our executives aesthetic with regard to staff . We are again faced with boarding procedures, documents and so on, but this time with the help of Fabrizio things run so quiet. finally give us the go-to board, we settle in the cabins. Not all agree we are on deck to greet Tunis for the last time . The sea, unfortunately, does not cooperate and myself retires lying in the bunk in the cabin as in best maritime tradition when there is swell ... ... ..

Saturday, October 20

Nausea is my first sensation just got up, but I find the strength to make breakfast. the rest of the group is always at the table (as will ....) From the information we receive from our friends Alba, it seems that the cold has decided to concentrarsi tutto sull’appennino ligure confinante con il Piemonte .  Staremo a vedere …….

Christianing Caje/sayings

Reminder

Dear Readers
'd say it's really a time when, uncertainty and fears, are the masters. Just paying the slightest attention to any mass-media, che ci si ritrova avvolti da messaggi di panico e catastrofismi relativi alle cadute delle borse, ed all'alone di crisi che circonda le aziende italiane.
Eppure... io non so quanti di voi abbiano capitali da parte, magari investiti nel mercato azionario, se ce ne fossero direi che questo è un ottimo momento per comprare e non per vendere (quindi tenete duro), per tutti coloro che non hanno investimenti nel mercato azionario, può essere utile comprendere se da questo periodo possiamo trovare qualche beneficio.
Crisi in cinese è descritto da due idiogrammi (simboli) che significano: Pericolo e Opportunità.
Io sono convinto che la crisi rappresenti questi due elementi contemporaneamente. Non esistono persone di fronte alle quali si presenta solo uno dei due elementi (ad. esempio il Pericolo).
Credo che dipenda dalle persone, innescare un pò di allenamento mentale per vedere anche l'altra natura del significato nella parola crisi (cioè Opportunità).
Un cambio di prospettiva potrebbe aiutarci a vedere ciò che, presi dalla pressione emotiva, dal tran tran quotidiano e dai media, non riusciamo propria a vedere. Cioè delle opportunità sia a livello finanziario, a livello professionale.
Penso che effettivamente l'Europa (Italia compresa) sia sottoposta ad uno scossone: come se fosse stata messa (aziende, banche, professionisti, governi) in una lavatrice. E per chi non ci è ancora finito, bè si metta in fila with patience.
What I think is: Blessed are those who will end up first, or even that they are preparing to get out already beautiful dried and ironed, because they come first, and ready at the starting line. I think for many companies that make the most of this period, there will be opportunities to reposition themselves on the market and to overcome their competitors, happen to many professionals and workers an opportunity to get back into game more challenging roles.
So prepare themselves and better than pre-deal (who knows my courses deemed perfect indication). The
's all about the natural human resistance to change! In my little
if I to help do it willingly, through individual coaching sessions (among other things that need to change your perspective to the problems we face, and turn them into opportunities for improvement).
But I point out a very easy to grasp opportunities: Oct. 26 edition of the course there will be "enough and 'Time to move ..?". Maybe it can be a time to make reflections, or better yet, plan on how to prepare themselves for change, and present at the end of the crisis and ready trained!
A good luck to all
Sergio Amatulli
P: S: I'd like to get opinions from your point of view as to when it all a little stiamo affrontando.
