Hi all.
I've just got back from Skanes (5th) and whilst I was there,my daughter managed to get stung by jellyfish (twice in the first 2 days!).If this happens whilst any of you are on holiday, the local remedy is to rub a piece of tomato on the sting.A sting might not seem much to a full grown adult but to a child it can be quite distressing.
Also, the jelly fish we encountered are very small and hard to spot.

Thank you David, for that tip, hopefully won't need to use it, but tis better to be safe than sorry, and know what to do

Hia again we're off to the Marhaba Club, first time in Tunisia, 19th August, it is coming round to quickly now 
trying to learn some basic words, but not learning very well, hahaha, also trying to get my head round the diner, (but a big Thanks to aslemma, who put a link on with how to work out the diner ) can sorta work out, changing from the pound, to the diner, but doing it from the diner to the pound, ermmmmmmmmm is a different story 
was also thinking, when do I tip, eg the cleaner, pool attendant, staff, do you normally tip at the begining or the end of the holiday ? (I am sure I have asked that b4, but my memory is getting awful hehehe)

Hi there again Roo
If you try http://www.oanda.com there should be a bit where you can print off a currency converter.I made up my own with Dinar - Pound on one side and Euro - Pound (Duty Free's in Tunisia don't accept Dinars) on the other, then laminated it so that it fits in my wallet.If you want to P.M. me I can send you one thru' the post if you have any probs.
You aren't really supposed to but you can buy your Dinars in the UK before you travel.We ordered ours thru' Thomas Cook.Also you aren't supposed to take them back out of the country but as we are going back in November, when we were asked if we had any we just told the man that my daughter had 3 Dinars in change and he just shrugged his shoulders and waved us on!
With regards to tipping, I always think that this is a personal thing but with me, we always tipped our waiter about 3 Dinars ((about £1.15) every couple of days and then gave him 15 Dinars when we were leaving but this all depends on the level of service you receive.I was waiting 'til the end of my holiday to tip my cleaner but she broke my alarm clock and tried to disguise it so I didn't bother!
I hope you have a great time and the weather is good.I can't wait to go back in the winter as it will also be my honeymoon.
Take care and all the best.
