Yefren, probably one of the nicer towns of the Jebel Nafusa. And definitely worth a visit (and a blog entry). Sitting majestically on the edge of the western mountains, overlooking the plains that lead to the coast. The town is very hard to spot form the plains, but once you are up a pleasant countryside feeling sweeps through the streets. There is also a small hotel with a restaurant. We were just a bit unlucky, because when we visited the town, they had all the local big shots for a lunch over. This led also to the situation that when we wanted to leave, half a dozen of cars blocked our way out.
There is also a small old revitalised house with a typical berber mansion to be visited. Guilhem (see photo) helped out with tea cooking. The owner of the house, who tricked us into his home by promisingto show us the way to the Roman ruins took about an hour to cook tea. Luckily we managed to continue to the Roman mausoleum, about 20kms to the east of town (in Yefren they told us: 3-4 kilometers), because otherwise we would have missed another wartime memorial with loads of old ammunition and ammunition boxes. We could have taken away all of the ancient Roman stones, but were denied an empty RPG box.

AntwortenLöschenSie waren eine ganze Zeit lang ganz schön naiv. Also: good luck.
Von pro-Gaddafi Seiten wird im Netz behauptet, Sie seien ein Geheimagent und wären u.a. auch um Militärische Anlagen gejoggt. So ein Job wäre für Botschaftsmitarbeiter ja nichts ungewöhnliches.

drei mal kurz gelacht. aber wirklich nur sehr kurz.
AntwortenLöschenwenn es das pro gadaffi lager gluecklich macht, so soll es so sein. deren zeit ist ohnehin ausserhalb des internets vorbei.
Es sieht ganz so aus, dass das Land nach Gaddafi in einen eher losen Zusammenhang mehr oder weniger unabhängiger Stadtstaaten zerfallen ist. Die von Facebook-"Revolutionären" unterschätze Stammes-Loyalität scheint eher stärker denn schwächer zu werden.
