On this trip I did manage to travel north on a 50 minute train journey to a place called El Jem which just a short stroll from the railway station I found what is advertised as the best preserved Roman Amphitheatre in the world and they cannot be far wrong. It is a very worthwhile visit and I would recommend it to anybody that gets anywhere near this part of the world. At times as I was looking around I was almost on my own sharing the Amphitheatre with possibly, apart from the coach party of kids that stayed for 20 minutes, less than ten other people.
